If you want/need 6c+ from intel coffee lake won't be the right cpu for you anyway if rumours are true.

Reposting since I still need help:
Can someone suggest me a build for video-editing? A friend asked me for a video-editing rig and I think I have a good prospective build but I would like a second suggestion as my knowledge is more gaming oriented.
Budget: 1500, Germany
Main Use: Video Editing, very light gaming
Monitor Resolution: 1080p
List SPECIFIC games or applications that you MUST be able to run well: Adobe After Effects with 4k input files
Looking to reuse any parts?: No (Aside from his Windows 10 license)
When will you build?: In the next 1-2 weeks
Will you be overclocking?: Maybe
I was thinking of 32gb RAM, two SSDs, one 250gb for the OS and one 500gb as a media-cache for After Effects of some sort, aswell as a 2-3tb HDD. He also would like to spend 100-200 of the budget on a nice looking case with RGBs and all but it's not mandatory, I thought of a Fractal Design R5 so the PC is atleast somewhat quiet.
Thanks for help in advance!

I was wondering why 580's were literally out of stock everywhere. I was hoping to buy one soon to start my PC build.
Stupid question, but what do you mean mining? For like bitcoins?
Man, I was looking at possibly upgrading my GPU and... GPU prices are crazy right now. I could barely find a 1070 less than $400.
So I decided to wait until AMD comes out with Vega (whenever that happens).
It's crazy to me that everyone seems to be leaving open the pricepoint previously occupied by the 970. That was a good price/performance mix for a lot of people. Now you have $400 1070, and $270 1060 6GB.

Yep. It and ethereum have shot up in price lately, driving a surge in people trying to get in. Though uh, looking it up now, they apparently took a severe hit in price and crashed one of the exchanges. Wonder if that'll affect demand for GPUs in the near future.

Here you go. I added most of what you asked for. Instead of 2 3tb drives I put in one 4tb drive, if he needs more room then just add another one later. The case is personal preference, get what he wants. I'm not a fan of Fractal Design as they are boring, as the reason I rarely recommend them. Adjust the video card accordingly, I put in a 1060, not sure what he would need. Since you mentioned 4k input files, not sure the 1060 will work, you may need to step the CPU down and up the GPU.
Yeah. A 1080ti draws ~400W under gaming load, for example...

Because chances are high for coffee lake to just offer 4c/8t max.
Not really a worthwhile replacement, but you most likely already know that.
The thermal grizzly paste is pretty good, but the standard packed in stuff is already good enough.

Thanks for the reply
That looks great for the price! So Ryzen is the way to go for video-editing with its high core-count? I'm honest, I'm so confused about Ryzen performance and hear some many different things so I don't even know anymore.And about the 4k files, really? I heard that video-editing is mostly CPU and not GPU bound? Did that change in recent years due to CUDA and stuff?
Thought as much - last I checked, 330w PSU was the recommended wattage.
I have a Corsair RM550x.

For video editing yes ryzen is better because of the additional cores. As for the 4k files, I don't know, someone else will have to answer that.Thanks for the reply

Quick questions regarding my old PC. I suspect this means I need a new PC, or at least GPU. Couldn't find a general PC troubleshooting thread.
1) Screen started getting some graphical glitches (squares, lines) and freezes, but only when launching certain games.
2) Afterward, the screen always has those graphical glitches on the regular windows menu/screen. PC still works as usual, so I back up my important stuff but don't dare launch a game.
3) I plug the monitor on the integrated card slot, and the screen displays normally. Ok, so it's just a dying GPU. However, it only stays on the desktop screen for a few seconds before turning black
4) I've rechecked the monitor wires and the gpu/motherboard connection to the case to make sure nothing is loose, but the monitor constantly turns on ok (with graphical glitches) on the gpu slot, but not on the integrated card slot (monitor light is orange as in there is nothing to display, rather than blue)
5) Now even when connected to the gpu, it freezes before it can boot into windows
Based on this limited info (I am not particularly hardware-savvy), does this mean there is a motherboard or something else issue aside from just the gpu? I am going to dig up a spare monitor amd test if I get the same results

Check your temperatures, always first port of call, really.

i feel like i should go for a GTX1080 instead of a GTX1070 even though its around $550 and that's a chunk :/
Hmmm.

What kind of performance are you wanting to achieve?
I am getting very antsy about doing a new build.
Right now I have a GTX 970, i5-2500k OC, abd 8GB of RAM.
However, the only "highend" games I plan on playing for this year are Nier: Automata and Residen Evil VII. I run all ny games at 1080p and 60fps. It would be best for me just to waot another year to upgrade right? I just feel so weird still rocking my six year old build.

Good God. This CPU just won't die. Is there an equivalent of it for this generation around?

Quick question here, is there usually a hard drive limit when it comes to motherboards? I'm thinking about picking up another SSD but I just realized that I should make sure I can actually use it before buying. Currently using an ASUS Z170 with an i7, if that matters.
Probably another i5 or Ryzen R5.
Although, benchmarks have shown that the i7 CPU's are the best investment if you're not looking to upgrade your CPU + mobo + possibly ram every five or so years (and like to play CPU-demanding games in particular). An i7-2600K (Sandy Bridge) runs close to a modern i5.
Gosh dangit, of course the New PC doesnt work. I dont have every Detail right now (ryzen 5 1600, ab350 pro 4 Asus, ripjaws 2800, zotac 1050 ti, sharkoon wmp 500). What happens when i Start the System is basically nothing. Every Fan begins to spin (2 case fans +CPU +graphische card). Touching The Ssd and Firecuda SSHD gives me The feeling of very slight vibration, so they seem to run As well
The only thing not working is the screen. Be it One of my TVs or my old Monitor with vga+dvi adapter, on two different graphic cards (!), they all remain Black. The case speaker does either not work or the system doesnt give a error Sound. I have no idea What to try or how to find out If my Mainboard is broken. Could the CPU be installed wrongly? Or would the BIOS still appear? Would IT still appear with bad /badly installed RAM? Goong to a sad sleep now. I hope aomeone can help.
Btw, i tried both PCI Ports.

As long as you got a sata connector open you will be fine.
If you have a 1440p monitor the 1080 is a must. Only other reason to need it is if you want maximum future proofing.
It's still super solid. Next year we're supposed to get some good stuff so wait until then to upgrade. If you had a build from the GTX 5XX era then it would be different.

Make sure you have all your cables plugged in, the ram is seated correctly, you will hear a click when they seat. Try with one stick of ram also.
JonnyDBrit

When you say begin to spin, do you mean they stop immediately afterwards? Or does it seem like the system is running but no display is being put out?
General possibilities:
-Reseat your RAM. Your system will not run if it isn't installed properly because there's nothing to hold the system data
-Reseat the CPU. Check pins aren't bent. If it isn't seated properly the system won't start because there's nothing to run it
-Reseat the GPU. Though since you claim to have tested this with multiple graphics cards, I presume you've done that?
-Test/swap out the power supply. Ultimately systems need power, and if your system isn't getting it for some reason, then of course it's not gonna work.

Hi all. My Sennheiser external soundcard finally died and I have noticed that my on-board sound just isn't that great. I don't have an extra PCI-E slot for a soundcard, so does anyone have any recommendations on a soundcard that uses USB?

Another question, my friend just built a new computer with the latest and greatest hardware, but it still only get 40 fps in DOTA 2. Any suggestions on what he should be doing to fix this?
I had my eye on the i7-7700k or Ryzen X1500 (I think that's what it's called).
Good to know. It's really a blessing that gaming is no longer as CPU intensive as it used to be.
Node 202?
Or if you want something a bit more versatile but bigger, the Define Mini C or Nano S (Fractal cases tend to sacrifice some cooling for silence).

I'm asking again to have more opinions but would a i5 3570k @4.2 bottleneck a gtx 1080ti for gaming at 1440p (preferably 144/165hz with gsync).
it feels weird to have had the same cpu for so long that I feel like a deer watching incoming headlights and don't know when its time to upgrade considering that I want to play recent games and upcoming ones at ultra.

The Node 202 looks great, but all of my games are on a 3.5" HDD, so I'm not sure this will work. The other two might work though--thanks!

What's the specs on this latest and greatest system?
So I may have a problem installing my new mobo into my old case. The case has bumps were the mounting points are to serve as standoffs but the edge of the new mobo comes into contact with one of the bumps since it's a smaller matx mobo than the original matx mobo. What can I do about this? Would wrapping the raised bump with electrical tape work or would I need a new case?
