Wait wait wat.
I don't claim to be a computer or animation expert, but that seems ridiculous. I think some Pixar frames took longer to render than that.
Ah, I use a different application (Blender) for rendering, and their frames take DAYS to render because they have a lot more aspects in their animations than I do. I heard that they have 500 or more lighting objects in one frame...
Zoostorm StormForce Hurricane Gaming PC
Win10 Home Edition
Intel® i7-7700 (3.60 GHz) Quad Core™ Processor
The ASUS Prime H270-PRO motherboard
16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 HyperX Fury Memory
1TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 64MB HHD
128GB M.2 2280 SSD
NVIDIA 1070 6GB Graphics
Old BenQ G2420HD monitor (1920 x 1080)
Even older keyboard & mouse!
I got that from the site I bought it from although my D drive says 2.72 TB, so I think I must've gone for the 2TB option?... Anyway I was strugling before with a dual core, Nvidia GTX 750 graphics card. Optifine is no longer essential, but a choice - just for shaders.
Hmm weird. Maybe you had 3tb - windows and formatting? No idea how that works xD
I also use optifine for Sildur's shaders. You should give them a try if you haven't
And just wondering, where did you get it? Thinking of buying a gaming rig for my brother.
And before someone tells me that my cpu is seriously bottlenecking my gpu, yes I know. I mostly use Ubuntu and have win 7 mostly for historical reasons. I plan on getting an SSD when I'll have some money to spare
Hmm never heard of that setup lol. I used to run Ubuntu on a Chromebook - it SUCKED
Very high-end laptop, so one tier below those alienware high-end gaming laptops. The best game I can still run is Mad Max, so I don't see a point in paying twice the price just to be able to play a few more games. Maybe once I've run out of games. :-D
Ah, main reason I built such I high-end PC is for rendering and video editing. Despite what the other guy said it's a pretty good laptop for gaming.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the i5 4200U was never anywhere close to high end. No, not even when it released. Far from one tier below "those high end Alienware gaming laptops".
Actually, it was kinda high tier and it works well to this day. And the Alienware laptop part I might have to agree with you on, but you don't rly need one for a good gaming experience.
There is no point in getting a Xeon CPU at all. Even for workstation use there are better alternatives currently. At least at this budget.
I suppose the cooler is alright, but at this budget you could get a lot better.
At least the thermal paste is good.
Motherboard is also fine, I guess, but there is no point in going for X99, or a Xeon.
Unless your brother is going to be using memory intensive programs there is absolutely no point in getting a 32GB kit.
If you're going to pick a SATA SSD anyway, why would you choose a more expensive M.2 SSD? It's not going to perform significantly better than a cheaper 2.5" SSD.
Graphics card is fine.
That case looks atrocious, at this budget you can afford spending more on a case.
I cannot find any reviews of the Rosewill Glacier 500M from any trusted source. So I wouldn't trust it. Though at this budget you should either way be spending a bit more on a PSU. Don't just select one because it's cheap.
Why would you choose an expensive ODD? There is absolutely no point to it at all.
Why would you choose Windows 10 Pro? You don't gain much from the price premium you pay for it.
Why have you picked two completely different case fans?
Why have you chosen to go with two 768p monitors and one 1080p monitor? This choice makes no sense at all. Why would you not just go for a single, or even two good 1080p monitors? Why go for three monitors in the first place? Especially three monitors that don't even share the same resolution? WHY?
Keyboard and mouse are fine I guess but at this budget you could get a lot better.
All in all this list screams of "babby's first part's list", completely nonsensical choices (even if you're able to explain away the decision to pick a Xeon).
This entire thread reeks of "kid trying to show off by lying". Though I am happy to concede I am wrong about that, though that would require you actually posting some proof, which you have continually avoided doing in this thread.
Why is the proof even important?
Anyway, he is using his PC as an editing workstation, and he needs such powerful stuff because with his current PC (8 core I7 @ 2GHz with a GTX 1080) timeline scrolling is a disaster with Adobe Premier. I picked a diff. resolution for the other screens because he only needs secondary screens for stuff like OBS, and doesn't need 1080P. Just perfectly fits my budget.
*And he needs the virtual machine that comes with Win10 Pro and a couple other features are pretty nice
and he needs such powerful stuff because with his current PC (8 core I7 @ 2GHz with a GTX 1080) timeline scrolling is a disaster with Adobe Premier
I do youtube and related video editing on my PC. Timeline isn't really 30FPS when editing, but it's good enough. And that CPU is waaaay better than mine.
My primary one, which I've had since around 2011/2012 (actually it's from even way longer ago like 2007, but that's when the CPU/motherboard/RAM/OS install is from) and I really only had storage added and video card upgrade last year, is STILL going strong. It's not the newest but it's been fantastic value and I intend to use it for the foreseeable future yet. I use it the most and is as follows (and I had to reach into memory for some of it, like the case/PSU/motherboard, which I guess shows it's age);
Fractal Arc Midi R2
EVGA SuperNova G2 750W (this replaced my previous PC Power & Cooling 610 only because I changed cases and the prior didn't work out as well in it)
Core i5 2500K @4GHz (a mild overclock, I know, but I'm fine with it for now)
Xigmatech something-or-another for CPU cooling (I like it because it's quiet)
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz 1.3V RAM
256 GB Crucial M4 SSD
4x 640 GB Caviar Blue (half of these are from the original 2007 date, the other two aren't much newer, and I use/have data on just two of the four currently)
5 TB Caviar something-or-another (which was my most recent addition because the growing list of now small hard drives above wasn't enough)
nVidia (EVGA) GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (my second newest change from last year, and I'm not sure whether it's SC or SSC or SSSC or whatever other silly models they have but it's EVGA and not overclocked; I don't overclock video cards)
ASUS Xonar DG (sound card)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Dell U2410 (1920 x 1200, 60 Hz) (old but working for me for now, I'll look at upgrading to something like 1440p/120 Hz+/IPS later)
And, um... that's sort of it. Some sort of Logitech mechanical keyboard and pretty generic Logitech Z623 speakers or something, I forget.
My second is my HTPC of sorts as I use it nearly daily for my TV and viewing purposes, like Netflix, Hulu, etc., but this PC sees a lot of Minecraft and some other games when my nephew uses it. It's as follows;
Dell OptiPlex GX380
Core 2 Duo E8600 3.33Ghz (my primary PC in 2007 had a E8400 and later E8600, I love this one)
8GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM
250 GB mechanical hard drive (want to put an SSD in some day)
GeForce GT 430 (works pretty well considering it's uses, but is somewhat showing age sometimes, so I'd like to find a low profile, low power option newer nVidia for it some day)
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Sony Bravia 32" (1366 x 768 from 2007, still working fantastically)
My last is my laptop which has seen so little use, it's a crime. It's even my newest of the three, though it's from like late 2013 so it's almost four years old already, wow. It looks new, and I had to look it's model number up. I'm actually totally fine with it's performance, but the low end laptop TN panel makes it off-putting to use.
Dell Inspiron 15-3537
Core i3 4010U (1.6GHz?)
6GB DDR3 dual channel (I was going to upgrade this to 8 GB but I don't use it enough to justify it)
128 GB Crucial (I think?) SSD (I was going to move this to the PC above but I figured even if I use it way more, the above PC is mostly just for streaming and don't need it as much, whereas the laptop will benefit more from an SSD when I do actually use it; that and I'd then have to reinstall two OS).
Hmm weird. Maybe you had 3tb - windows and formatting? No idea how that works xD
I also use optifine for Sildur's shaders. You should give them a try if you haven't
And just wondering, where did you get it? Thinking of buying a gaming rig for my brother.
I got mine of a UK catalogue company. For shaders I have Sildur's Enhanced Default, Continuum 1.2.2 PBR, Chocapic (Lesser used), Kuda shaders amd DocteurDread's Shaders Ultra (Also lesseer used.) For my main world I mainly alternate between Kuda and Continuum PBR laltetly.

Why are you avoiding posting proof? Is it perhaps because you have none, and now you are just trying to somehow squirm your way out of this lie you've been caught in? Go on, prove me wrong, download Speccy. Uploading a screenshot to the internet is not hard.
That has to be one old i7 (Or perhaps a low power version?). My 4790K can handle scrubbing the timeline with 4K60 gameplay footage (with the preview resolution set to 1/2) in Adobe Premiere Pro without problems. Though naturally timeline performance depends a lot on what it is you are scrubbing through. A Xeon (especially that Xeon) will not help too much with that, you'd be far better off going for something like a higher end Ryzen 7 CPU (1700/1800X). Though if what your brother already has is an Extreme Edition i7 (since you said 8-cores, and I will assume you actually know the difference between physical cores and logical threads), at least any more recent Extreme Edition, and you're still having trouble scrubbing the timeline, that Xeon is definitely not going to help, nor is a Ryzen 7.
Well, then two decent 1080p monitors would suit that purpose (and your budget) just as well.
Instead of paying the price premium of Pro, why not just use a program like VMWare Player, or VirtualBox? They're free.
Thx for the advice! Ima probably go with a better i7, but im editing raw footage soo xD
And ima try out VMWare ty
Ok,as I can see you won't stop asking for proof jontecool98.Let the man have whatever pc he wants.He does not want to prove you anything alright?You are just being rude.I'm reporting you.
I'm now convinced OP is lying. There's still no screenshot to indicate these ridiculous specs.
Intel i7 4770K @ 3.5Ghz, overclocked to 4.1 about 6 months ago when I swapped out the cooler with a 212 Evo.
32GB of DDR3 RAM. (originally had 16GB, I upgraded for no specific reason)
Geforce 1070GTX
Sound Blaster Zxr. Why? Because I make music professionally? I work in a studio? Nope, no reason. I like shiny things.
Two monitors, a 2560x1440 Acer display and a Viewsonic 1920x1080. The Acer replaced a Qnix 2560x1440 monitor which seemed to have the firefox toolbar permanently stuck on the screen. Which went away after it was off for a while. I'd use it alongside this one but there isn't enough room on my desk.
1TB Crucial SSD
4TB WD Red
4TB WD Blue
LG Blu Ray Burner. Yes I do use it; can play Blu-Ray in VLC which is nice.
ASUS DVD DL Burner.
Windows 10 Pro.
Case is a Thermaltake Commander G42 I think, has a window on the side which is totally pointless since it's horizontal on a shelf under the primary desk surface. Impossible to see through the window.
Also have one of those internal card-reader combo things connected with two USB 3.0 ports as well.
This replaced a 2008 Build, which I have setup elsewhere
Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L Motherboard
Intel QX6700 2.66Ghz (recent replacement, replaced a Q8200 and slapped on a T12 Cooler.
8GB DDR2
480GB SSD
3TB HDD I think there is another but I don't remember the size. This is a failing Seagate drive from my main system which I replaced with the WD Blue. Decided to stick it in there since I can use it for storage and it's not going to store anything important.
Geforce 9800GTX+
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
Dual band Wireless AC card
2560x1440 QNIX Monitor. This was replaced by the Acer on my main system when it seemed to have images stuck on it. (Firefox toolbar). Which went away after it was off for a while. Acer is still better though.
Win10 Pro (naturally)
Have a Thinkpad T550 (16GB, some kind of i7, 480GB SSD, 2880x1620 Touch screen), a sub $400 build, AM1 based, Radeon R9 240, 4GB RAM, 240GB SSD and a 500GB WD Blue. Win 10 Pro there too, naturally.
Have a "old" build I put together a while back for older software and games. Pentium 4 2.4Ghz, AIW Radeon 9000, Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS, Running Windows XP SP3.
Also have some older laptops and computers. iMac G3, PowerMac G4 (With a Zip drive, have a few zip disks for fiddling with that) a PowerMac G5, Thinkpad T41p, Toshiba Satellite 440CDX, Thinkpad 755CE that got Beat up in shipping still have the pic from the claim. Runs Windows 95. 40MB of RAM iirc. unfortunately the trackpoint buttons are messed up and don't seem to work properly and the floppy drive seems to have issue (though it's likely my floppies are just bad). I got a PS/2 Mouse for it which helps but it wasn't really what I was hoping for. (got a full refund, but still...)
The 4GB "budget" system has actually proven to be very useful. both for testing our software without gobs of RAM, as well as so I can workaround some Visual Studio bugs where stuff gets screwed up when stuff is saved on a display with higher than 100% DPI.
Then that's why you're having a problem. Unless you are actually storing your footage on RAMdisks, PCI-E SSD's or something like that, they will not be smoothly played back by any CPU. A regular HDD will not be able to smoothly play back raw or lossless video files, it just simply can't read the data fast enough. Encode it down with Adobe Media Encoder before importing the footage into premiere. Just encode it to a bitrate that is higher than what you will be encoding it to when you've edited it.
Also I see you're still avoiding that pesky request of proof.
And thanks for the advice. Tried it out and it worked pretty well on an i5 (My mom's current computer I am writing from rn)

Woah! You remind me of Linus Tech Tips because you have like 100 computers xD
Here's how my desk sits at the moment, specs down in the sig but couple of stuff missing due to no space. Most noteable is that the 1080 Ti is cooled with a Kraken X61 + G12 bracket, not the stock MSI cooler, and the i7 has been de/relidded.
QuikMiner, that isn't Speccy, and unfortunately it doesn't really serve as "proof" for a number of reasons.
One issue though is that it does somewhat catch you in a "Lie"; earlier you state that you upgraded to Windows 10, but that is a screen capture from Windows 8, not Windows 10.
Ah, I use a different application (Blender) for rendering, and their frames take DAYS to render because they have a lot more aspects in their animations than I do. I heard that they have 500 or more lighting objects in one frame...
And I have up to 10 lighting objects
Woah! That's almost the same specs as my dad's PC
Hmm weird. Maybe you had 3tb - windows and formatting? No idea how that works xD
I also use optifine for Sildur's shaders. You should give them a try if you haven't
And just wondering, where did you get it? Thinking of buying a gaming rig for my brother.
Hmm never heard of that setup lol. I used to run Ubuntu on a Chromebook - it SUCKED
And a Crappy processing unit... wow xD
Ah, main reason I built such I high-end PC is for rendering and video editing. Despite what the other guy said it's a pretty good laptop for gaming.
Actually, it was kinda high tier and it works well to this day. And the Alienware laptop part I might have to agree with you on, but you don't rly need one for a good gaming experience.
Just saying, haven't rly heard of that many people using Core 2 Duos still.
You guys think this is a pretty good build for my brother? (I have a spare older CPU to perform a BOIS update on the motherboard)
if not maybe try and make a better one for around the same price?

So, Dxdiag? Because as jontecool98 said, it seems really weird that you have the memory whatever thing.
Frankly, I'm still getting past the fact that you're wasting a Xeon processor for rendering, but that's a story for another day.
Omg I'm an idiot... I thought i had ddr4 but i have ddr3 😒 sorry...
And I'm not wasting it, it came from my dad's server.

Two monitors, a 2560x1440 Acer display and a Viewsonic 1920x1080. The Acer replaced a Qnix 2560x1440 monitor which seemed to have the firefox toolbar permanently stuck on the screen. Which went away after it was off for a while. I'd use it alongside this one but there isn't enough room on my desk.
1TB Crucial SSD
4TB WD Red
4TB WD Blue
LG Blu Ray Burner. Yes I do use it; can play Blu-Ray in VLC which is nice.
ASUS DVD DL Burner.
Windows 10 Pro.
Case is a Thermaltake Commander G42 I think, has a window on the side which is totally pointless since it's horizontal on a shelf under the primary desk surface. Impossible to see through the window.
Also have one of those internal card-reader combo things connected with two USB 3.0 ports as well.
This replaced a 2008 Build, which I have setup elsewhere
Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L Motherboard
Intel QX6700 2.66Ghz (recent replacement, replaced a Q8200 and slapped on a T12 Cooler.
8GB DDR2
480GB SSD
3TB HDD I think there is another but I don't remember the size. This is a failing Seagate drive from my main system which I replaced with the WD Blue. Decided to stick it in there since I can use it for storage and it's not going to store anything important.
Geforce 9800GTX+
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
Dual band Wireless AC card
2560x1440 QNIX Monitor. This was replaced by the Acer on my main system when it seemed to have images stuck on it. (Firefox toolbar). Which went away after it was off for a while. Acer is still better though.
Win10 Pro (naturally)
Have a Thinkpad T550 (16GB, some kind of i7, 480GB SSD, 2880x1620 Touch screen), a sub $400 build, AM1 based, Radeon R9 240, 4GB RAM, 240GB SSD and a 500GB WD Blue. Win 10 Pro there too, naturally.
Have a "old" build I put together a while back for older software and games. Pentium 4 2.4Ghz, AIW Radeon 9000, Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS, Running Windows XP SP3.
Also have some older laptops and computers. iMac G3, PowerMac G4 (With a Zip drive, have a few zip disks for fiddling with that) a PowerMac G5, Thinkpad T41p, Toshiba Satellite 440CDX, Thinkpad 755CE that got Beat up in shipping still have the pic from the claim. Runs Windows 95. 40MB of RAM iirc. unfortunately the trackpoint buttons are messed up and don't seem to work properly and the floppy drive seems to have issue (though it's likely my floppies are just bad). I got a PS/2 Mouse for it which helps but it wasn't really what I was hoping for. (got a full refund, but still...)
The 4GB "budget" system has actually proven to be very useful. both for testing our software without gobs of RAM, as well as so I can workaround some Visual Studio bugs where stuff gets screwed up when stuff is saved on a display with higher than 100% DPI.
Is this speccy enough for you guys?
And thanks for the advice. Tried it out and it worked pretty well on an i5 (My mom's current computer I am writing from rn)
Woah! You remind me of Linus Tech Tips because you have like 100 computers xD

________________
Here's how my desk sits at the moment, specs down in the sig but couple of stuff missing due to no space. Most noteable is that the 1080 Ti is cooled with a Kraken X61 + G12 bracket, not the stock MSI cooler, and the i7 has been de/relidded.
Inside case:
And QuikMiner, this is Speccy:
K95 RGB / Logitech G502 PS / Alienware AW3418DW / ViewSonic XG2703-GS / Sennheiser HD 598
QuikMiner, that isn't Speccy, and unfortunately it doesn't really serve as "proof" for a number of reasons.
One issue though is that it does somewhat catch you in a "Lie"; earlier you state that you upgraded to Windows 10, but that is a screen capture from Windows 8, not Windows 10.
Another reason it doesn't serve as proof:
There is a pinned thread exactly for this, we don't need another one.
