Hi everyone!
Ok, I need to begin a build tonight and have it finished by tomorrow.
I need to get this done this weekend so I may capitalize on the Windows 8 deals and add-ons that will expire at the end of this month...
Yeah, I know, I should have posted sooner....
I am torn between two different configurations. I have all the components, but not sure which way to go. Here are the two choices I have:
Build Choice #1
Intel i5-2500K [used for 2 years in my personal rig].
EVGA Z68 FTW 160-SB-E689-KR [new, but many reports of BIOS issues]
GTX 560Ti or XFX 6870
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 1600 DDR3
Seasonic X750
CM HAF 932
Build Choice #2
AMD FX 8350
Gigabyte 990XFA-UD3
GTX 560Ti or XFX 6870
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 1600 DDR3
Seasonic X750
CM HAF 932
My computing needs:
This rig needs to be able to do the following functions:
Run a Hauppauge 2250 to record OTA movies, documentaries, etc.
Eventually run and record 5-8 home security cameras
Do a little video rendering [not much]
I do not play any games, so that is not even an issue on this build.
When I finally set up all the cameras, I am hoping the rig will not use too much juice because I plan on it running 24/7.
Ok, your turn.
Please help me make a good educated decision.
It's me,
Soar
