Building a Music and Video Production PC // Part 2

in blog •  7 years ago 

In the last post in this series, I was talking about building a new Video/Music editing Suite / Studio for @isaria.. I have already made some changes, because of ADD. Ugh.

The First change:

I canceled the i7-8700 and ordered the i7-8700k instead. The 3.2 compared to 3.7 clock speed and the small price difference changed my mind. So I paid the $30 difference and went for it.

Intel Core i7-8700K vs Core i7-8700

Userbenchmark Effective CPU Speed: 111% vs 103%

Intel Core i7-8700K - 6th / 982

Intel Core i7-8700 - 10th / 982

The Hard Drive

I went with the Samsung Evo 250GB M.2 drive.

I didn't know these things were so tiny. Smaller than a stick of RAM, depending on the size of your monitor, it's probably smaller than the picture above.

The motherboard can handle these easily, and the incredibly fast read/write speeds made this a no-brainer - $120

The RAM

When the hell did RAM prices skyrocket? Jumping Jesus! Well, this one will be a future upgrade.
But for now I went with the Corsair Vengence 16GB 2400MhZ. - $200

Power Supply

I spent more time on this than I should have. Let's face it, PSUs are boring, and reading about them are even more so.


Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-850FX 850W - $100 after $20 rebate! BOOM - REBATE, BITCHES!

Running Total

Grand total from last post - $544. + $30 Swap of the CPU = $574 + today's additions = $994. Looking good. - Wait, no. I just realized I forgot to add a WIFI solution. Let's see what sort of obnoxious thing I can find. crosses fingers that @isaria doesn't read this

It looks like I have one more post to write on this, so I'll save the CASE, the WIFI (whatever that turns out to be), and any other goodies for another post.

Hello @swelker101! I found an amazing surprise in my account today from you of 500 delegated SP! I wanted to thank you very much for the delegation directly!!! :)

I'm not sure what to say in a situation like this, but I know you must be watching what we are doing. I'm just as thankful for you paying attention to me and #newbieresteemday too. Its truly amazing how you (and others like the #stewardsofgondor members I have met) are always looking to help others and willing to further their cause.

I will continue to do my best and work hard to make this platform better than it already is, and I promise you that use this delegation to help to make others stronger so we can all grow together!

As to you personally I realize that some people like to remain "in the shadows", but if you would like to carry on conversations about yourself or the issues you care about I would be honored to have that happen!

I'm a strong believer in partnering with others and working together in ways that suits each party, so if there is anything you are doing or focusing on that I can help with please let me know.

Thank you again very much for this delegation, it is appreciated more than those words can convey!!! I hope you have a wonderful day and you should know that you just mine!!! :)

Heh. No worries at all, if anything, you can thank @inquiringtimes. He's the person that pointed you out and the good work you've done on his contest. I hope you enjoy the delegation!

I will definitely thank @inquiringtimes for pointing me out and its a a true honor that you did this! I'm checking out your last post now and think its great you are bringing more content here... I'm your second follower on @steempop already! ;)

I don't know much about witnesses but I see that you are one, so I am also going to add you there. (I know it doesn't matter at my size, but I have confidence that your a great guy because you picked me) haha :)

I realize the bigger people here can't focus on the little guys out of sheer volume of people, but if you ever want to see what we are doing you can follow us on #newbieresteemday (or see a lot of it also on my blog)... Your delegation will be used to further that cause and you should at least know that you are linked to its future success! Like today and tomorrow we've been giving out "Newbie Nickels" which is only possible because I can now do many $0.05 upvotes to reward the newbies for participating and engaging us.

And one final thing, I know one of our members @beeyou who does the "weekly buzz" will want to make you an honorary member for this... Are you ok if she does so?

Again thank you very very much and if you ever want me to help you with anything let me know... And if you ever want to take a day and hang out with some cool people, I'm sure our people would love to get to know you :)
