Build Your Own - Step by Step ( i7 2600k)

I do Agree with Bolimomo and to take that approach.

If I threw together quickly what you asked and shopping just at microcenter this is what comes together for estimated spending.
Everything here is just ideas and not all actual parts you would use based on your needs and how they must be compatible. ( left out a dvd which you need to decide on type)

*Power supply is guess for the the sample
* a 60gb ssd for your needs for OS and programs, again just sample idea.
* i7 2600k
*The only motherboard microcenter sells ( that I am aware of ) that supports 4 video cardsPCI Express 2.0 x16and an 1155 socket as mentioned is the ASUS Maximus IV Extreme. ( as suggested there are other ways around this to achieve 8 monitors )

***VERY Important - also check to see if 4video cards can be lined up side by side in these
slots *****

*Add a HDD storage /data
*Estimating 8 gb memory ( again no idea of your needs )
*OEM system builder Windows 7 64 home/
*dvd player ( simple model or higher end ? ) add $20. for a basic
* 4 low priced video cards ( same used in my build )

_ do keep in mind a lot of fans, and some big ones in that case so sound levels should be considered.


Remember this is nothing more than a throw together sample for the purpose of presenting an estimated price based on your ideas .
You may shop around and find much better prices for parts that you actually need.

I would seriously take Bolimomo's advice and really think about this step by step based on your needs.

check out itemized microcenter list ( not sure if list will stick or delete)

Grand Total $1,608.27
In this sample take $110.00 off total for mail in rebates
 
LEAPup,

Try to keep the build from starting to get away from your original plan of a good budget build.
Stay focused on the original plan and set a price zone of what you would like to spend.

From that budget set aside for the new box, you can begin to shop for a prebuilt or have a real good idea of what to purchase in parts for a build.

The list I posted highlights this is no longer your original plan for a new machine.
Maybe take some time and re-think exactly what it is you would like to accomplish. It is very exciting to move forward, just think carefully about the original plan.
 
Hi guys,

Do you guys have any ideal in term of performance, using i7 2600K processor to built a high end desktop will be better than built a Workstation using Xeon processor with 2 CPU for platform like Multichart ?

Pls allow me to ask this naive question, I'm new to PC building :)

Thanks in Advance

That's in California. In Svalbard they just save a little boiler fuel.

Also your comment explains why some people care beyond reason about power consumption of monitors. It transpires they all live in Southern United States and want to avoid intalling extra air conditioning.

Thanks.:( :D I'm a trader, not a computer hardware guru.:eek: :D

I'm wondering if you, bolimomo, and Tikitrader will help me order the parts I need to build a rig AROUND this? http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0293547

Because you are hiring some Mr. TechGuy to put together a system for you, I think it is important to work with this individual on the detail parts list before you order anything. To make sure he will support that build. We can make suggestions to you. But the last thing we want to see is you've ordered this and that and at the end Mr. TechGuy says "no no I can't make this work together..."
 
Did you check out ibuypower.com?

You can get an i7-2600K, 8GB RAM, Gigabyte UD7(?) mobo with 4, x16 slots.. an upgraded Corsair 650W PSU for about $1200. It comes with a basic video card, which you probably won't use... get 4, NVS 295s on eBay for about $30 each.

Hey obamapips,

I posted this earlier in the thread regarding Multicharts benefiting from multicore/hyperthreading.

This is from Bruce DeVault on the MC forums.

Quote from TIKITRADER:

If anyone is interested in a great thread from Multicharts Discussion Forums it was contributed by Bruce DeVault.

Bruce has some excellent knowledge and has contributed great material in different discussions.

In this thread he discusses multiCore and hyperthreading.
This is from 2010.
Thanks Bruce for his contribution in this thread

Nothing wrong with changing things as you go along.
Sometimes you realize you need something you may have missed in the original idea.
This is a suggestion to write down the original plan in detail, exactly what you had in mind.

Now go over each section of that original idea, write down what you feel needs to change based on new information you come across, and to be the build that will do the job you need.

Compare the cost difference, look for parts compatibility, and check if the changes work for you.
This is really a really important step, as this is where you can sit down with the person who will be hired to build the new rig.

Show him the original and revised ideas.

He may have some terrific advice to build you exactly the machine of your needs.
He can also help you to look at prebuilts that compare to the revised build. ( small fee for his time )
You may find something along that line.
No matter how you go about it, either built or prebuilt, the end result will be an excellent machine performing the tasks you require of it... and have fun :cool:
