shaun_a · 18 Nov 2013 at 22:40

thks

If you can stretch the budget I'd go for faster ram. Why the 2 different sized SSDs? I'd buy 2 of the same and set them up in a raid config if I could afford it.

shaun_a · 18 Nov 2013 at 23:10

Want 1 ssd for os 1 ssd for videos to be edited then put oh hdd
Is it worth having raid i might be wrong but if you get a virus dont it go onto both drives so what is the point ?
What ram is best and ur views on mb

so you are not going for the "quantum" overclocked bundle any more i take?

the above spec i have altered for you is much better, if you want to save more money then you can use this win8.1 trial for 90 days - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/hh699156.aspx

• the gfx card is faster in gaming see here., it lacks CUDA but you get OpenCL acceleration in many apps.
• The PSU is modular and has the power for a pair of these cards.

shaun_a · 19 Nov 2013 at 10:10

Hi all dont no what to do like some of the spec of the asus board
And only changed from the quantum bundle cus i changed board and fan cooler
Help ?

stulid · 19 Nov 2013 at 12:33

What is it on the Asus that you like?

shaun_a · 19 Nov 2013 at 13:08

Like the wifi and bluetooth
Or is the gig a better board
And someone said that cuda helps in editing?
Thks

stulid · 19 Nov 2013 at 13:27

You can add a Wifi/Bluetooth card later.

The OC is the better board, nothing comes close to clocking like it does in this price range.

CUDA helps, but so does OpenCL which the ATI has.

Edit, OpenCL is actually an open platform for all cards to support, CUDA is Nvidia only.

The OC is a good mobo, especially for OC`ing. But you need to decide what you need from the board.
Compare both boards, look at the features and the connections they offer. Then get whichever meets your needs and requirements. What other devices are you likely to connect to your mobo?
No point in buying a mobo with lots of fancy features, if you`re not likely to ever use them.

looking at at £1200 to £1400 :confused:

stulid · 19 Nov 2013 at 16:53

I nailed it, there's £50 left to get a USB WiFi adapter or WifI PCI-E card.

hi thks for that would i still be better to go with the Quantum bundle or stick with yours must say it looks good
glad i just stuck it out to get good advise

stulid · 19 Nov 2013 at 17:19

The quantum would take the pain of overclocking away if you've never done it yourself.

Maybe work out the cost of the individual parts and compare against the bundle cost to weigh up if its worth it to you.
