I just built a computer today. The computer I am replacing it with I built back in 2005 around the AMD FX-60 chip, which is about the last high end chip AMD made.
This time I went with Intel i7 3770k
Intel i7 3770k (3.5ghz) Quad Core
ASUS p8z77 pro motherboard
16gb Corsair Vengance 1600mhz RAM
WD solid state 512gb hard drive
XFX Geforce 680 graphics card.
Blu ray player
Kept the same 27 inch monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
I've been checking stability today and so far so good.
Oh, I'm sticking with Windows 7. Why so much overkill?
It't better to have it now then not need it, than to need it and not have it.Other than the 16GB of RAM he has, I don't see a need for the 680, and the i7 is justifiable if he's doing lots of photo and video editing. Other than that, its overkill.If he is really doing photo editing, then along with the i7 the extra CUDA cores in the 680 and the extra RAM could be helpful too.
