I would need a budget!

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

I thought someone might say that...lol, say around the 2k mark but can be flexible.

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:37 PM

#

Without a budget we could give you a build that's worth £5000 and wouldn't be suitable haha

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

I'm working on it

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

white warren I would need a budget!

Haha cheers.

The machine specced up cost me about £1700 ish back in 2020

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:38 PM

#

Oh the GPU market back then kekw

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

Any preference on brands?

#

AMD? Intel?

#

Nvida?

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

for GPU

#

?

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:39 PM

#

for CPU & GPU

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

I'll give both it's fine

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

Not for CPU - I've got Ryzen just now and its been great.

GPU probably stick with Nvidia as vMix seems to play better with them

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

AMD GPUs are cracking little things at the moment

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:40 PM

#

Hmmm interesting

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

Some even outperform 4070's for anywhere between £100-200 cheaper

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

I think price to performance AMD is doing best

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:43 PM

#

Would it be possible to give both options?

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:44 PM

#

Yeah certainly, I'm sure Accent is drafting some up for you now, I would but currently working and don't have much time

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:44 PM

#

Oh dont worry - I wasnt expecting someone to look at it straight away. I really appreciate all the input. Thank you

Since vMix is the main program I use on a daily basis. Here's what they recommend...

vMix Reference Systems | vMix

vMix Reference Systems are recommended specifications you can use when building a custom live production system for vMix.

I'll give you another one soon

Oh that was quick!

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

Yeah seems like that program more relies on the NVIDA GPUs

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

Thats my thought too.

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:46 PM

#

I'll give you an AMD Nvidia then

#

Apparently you need a capture card?

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

I've got one here.

#

Thats all good

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:47 PM

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:50 PM

#

Mistake with the previous build - if you decide to go for that switch the aio for little to no extra cost for a 360mm one

#

Ive went for a 13600k over 14600k because of the price difference which was extreme for no performance gain

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

yeah the 14th gen is basically just 13th overclocked

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:52 PM

#

Ok thats cool. Aaaah ok I understand

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

jolly elm

For this one - non X because of temperatures and not that much performance gain, we aren't overclocking

#

Some people swear by the X, you can choose that aswell

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

I was looking at that. so the 7700 and not the 7700x - not much difference

inner hawk Nov 3, 2023, 12:53 PM

#

I know on Intel CPUs, overclocking is pratically dead, considering the chips now turbo more than a stable OC

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

Overclocking with an undervolt is not dead for sure

#

But just not practical

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

On the recent build you send over - I see the AIO 360mm is selected - so thats ok

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:54 PM

#

Yeah that's brilliant

#

Best temperatures there

#

Hope 2TB of storage is okay? Not sure how much you use.

#

Sorry discord things kekw

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

Yeah, thats cool - Im more a cloud based guy, so storage isnt that much of an issue

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:56 PM

#

Awesome

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

Out of interest....any reason why I couldnt go from MSI Pro X670-P to the next one up which is the X670E Tomahawk

#

or not that much more performance?

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

No performance gain at all

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:57 PM

#

Cool

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 12:58 PM

#

I like the look of both but prefer the tomahawk aesthetically

#

You might not and prefer the x670-p

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 12:58 PM

#

Cool - I'll have a look at both

#

Also...sorry for the questions...

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 1:00 PM

#

No worries pepehypers

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

Im still probably stuck in the 00s with hard drives. In the old days we'd have a drive where we boot from and have all the apps and a second drive to store all the data. is that not a thing anymore and just 1 m.2 is fine?

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 1:02 PM

#

Hard drives are a pass for me

#

1 m.2 is fine! You can easily do that yeah

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 1:03 PM

#

Thats cool.

jolly elmBOT Nov 3, 2023, 1:03 PM

#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @robust yew, you levelled up to 7! :tada:

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

white warren Hard drives are a pass for me

Thank you for your help today. Its really appreciated. I'll go and check it all out and hopefully place an order soon.

white warren Nov 3, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

No worries! If you want to wait till tomorrow someone may throw their two cents in

robust yew Nov 3, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

Yeah, thats cool - Im not in any rush at the moment
