I'm about to upgrade by PC for the first time in 5 years and wanted to know if anybody had any feedback regarding this build.
Besides browsing it would mainly be used for photo and video management in Adobe Lightroom, Hitfilm and little bit of rendering in Poser or Lux. (No Gaming)
Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270X 2GB TOXIC
ASRock Fatal1ty H87 Performance LGA 1150 Motherboard
Intel Core i7 4771 Quad Core LGA 1150 3.5GHz CPU Processor
G.SKILL RipjawsX 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA III SSD MZ-7TE250BW
Seagate ST3000DM001 3TB Barracuda 3.5” 7200RPM SATA3
Samsung SH-224DB (BB) 24x Internal SATA OEM DVD Burner
Seasonic G Series 650W Power Supply ATX / EPS 80Plus
Zalman Z5 Plus ATX Mid Tower PC Case – Black
Two questions I am wondering about is if I really need the i7 processor? In most situations I would imagine that an i5 would be fine.
And should I spend a bit more on the Video card and maybe get a R9-280x?
