First I was thinking in clone this setup, BUT, somethings are kind of hard to get now (like the motherboard), so maybe It’s better to get a better PC instead (If I can afford it!), so it doesn’t get obsolete too soon
I sold lot’s of my stuff and saving for sometime so I think I will raise something between 1000 to 1200 euro.
For work I do mostly mixing up to 50 tracks + 20 VSTis output tracks, I will do (with luck) eventually recordings my top is 24Channels same time (UR824 + OktopreMKii x2)
Do you guys have some recommendations? I know is a large question and there’s no just one answer, but I prefer to get opinions
You don’t need 850W power supply. These monsters are designed for gaming PCs with power-hungry Graphics cards and all bells and whistles. Your system is very basic one. Even 450W should be more than enough, but I would buy 500-550W one just in case.
When I updated my last PC I had the trauma of problems with my last PSU, just to had an EMU1820M audiocard and everything inside the box…and also wanted to eventually expand my Video card (I’m a shy gammer!, I have a second partition for gaming) but never changed anything!
I maybe I can upgrade the videocard and get a smaller PSU…mmm…I’m not sure if I can find (or exist) one fanless but with more power.
So since looks like the PSU was an overkill, I change it and the video card so I got option 2:
1 x be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, CPU-Kühler € 79,90
1 x ASUS GTX750TI, Grafikkarte € 154
1 x be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 10 600W, Netzteil € 99,90
1 x be quiet! Silent Base 800, Gehäuse € 119,90
1 x Corsair Force LX 2,5" SSD 256 GB € 122,90
1 x ASUS Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac), Mainboard € 197,90
1 x Corsair DIMM 16 GB DDR3-1600 Kit, Arbeitsspeicher € 144,90
1 x Intel® Core™ i7-4790K €344
Grand Total: € 1.263,40
The Only thing is that "the don’t know when the i7-4790K will be available
You know GTX750 might require more power than GT610?
Quick search:
GTX750: 60W
GT610: 30W
Unfortunately these were from different sources so they may not be completely comparable.
Anyway, the extra 30W should not make your 600W PSU to surrender under increased load.
