Computer Build for CS5,

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to check this computer build and make any recomendations. I am about to start video editing, in both DV and HD. I don't need the best system as it isn't for work, and I would like to try and keep the price down, however it would be nice to 'future proof" it.
This is what I was quoted so far:
CPU Intel Core i7 950 [3GHz/4.8GT QPI/8MB/LGA1366] [BX80601950] 1 359.00
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 [Intel X58/LGA1366/DDR3/ATX] 1 359.00
RAM Kingston 6GB Kit (3x2GB) DDR3 PC-10600 1333MHz DIMM [KVR1333D3N9K3/6G] 2 189.00
Hard Disk Drive Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 3.5" 1.5TB 7200rpm 32MB SATA [ST31500341AS] 1 109.00
Hard Disk Drive OCZ Vertex 2 (E) 2.5" 60GB SATAII Solid State Drive [OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G] 1 199.00
Power Supply Antec TruePower 650W ATX Power Supply [TP- 650] 1 149.00
Case Antec P183 "Performance One" Black Midi Tower No PSU 1 185.00
MicroSoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit DVD OEM 1 169.00
Graphics Card Leadtek NVIDIA Quadro FX 580 512MB DDR3 PCI- Express 1 275.00
DVDRW and BLURAY Drives LG 22x Internal DVD±RW SATA - OEM – Black [GH22NS50] 1 39.00
I read somewhere here that it would be better with Microsoft Windows 7 Pro. I am also a bit unsure about the graphics card: a friend said to downgrade and save money, or is it better to upgrade to a Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX470 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-Express2.0 [N470UD-13 or something similar.
If anyone has anytime to make any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Jimmy

Jimmy,
The FX 580 is a waste of money. Get either the GTX 460 or 470.
Up the memory to at least 12 GB, either 6 x 2 or preferably 3 x 4 GB, so you have future room to grow.
The PSU is a bit small, 650 W is probably not enough. Look here eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Pro v2.5
and get the Pro version, set CPU load to 100% and capacitor aging to 30% and then add 10 - 15% for safety.
Get a big tower instead of a midi tower. Better cooling, more expansion room, easier installation and better cable management.
Get some more disks. Look here: Adobe Forums: Generic Guideline for Disk Setup
Use Win7 Pro.
Consider a BR/DVD burner.

PC build for CS5 Production Premium

Hello everyone. Ron here from Toronto Canada.
I'm a serious hobbyist leaning more towards video and flash production, attempting to put together a PC for CS5 Production Premium.
I've gone through this forum recently (a few times, actually - great info - thanks guys) and have put together what I think I want, as I'm not a hardware techie.
I'm looking to see if I'm going on overkill, or if there are any finer details I may have missed in putting together these hardware components.
Ex: Motherboard fits in case; CPU Cooler doesn't block RAM slots; GPU good enough - SuperClocked worth the price; Overclocking issues; Good Blu-Ray burner; Hardware alternatives; etc...
Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks Harm. Phew!! What a relief.
My next step is to order my list through a local computer store rather than online, and have them build it for me for the cost of shipping and me trying to build it myself.
>> I wonder where you can find the F3 Trident 4 G sticks though. A great choice but hard to get I think. I have been looking at that memory as well to upgrade to 24 G.
I got the idea from: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2968126
Which led me to: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231381
This led me to another question. In the reviews section ( http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820231359 ) there's mention of the price for the 6x4 sticks being a marketing trick, where its cheaper to buy 2x (3x4) sticks. Yet one reply to that, mentions the price difference is because the 6x4 sticks are all made to work together. I also read somewhere that its better to get the 6 pack because they're all manufactured on the same line. Any thoughts?
>> If anything critical, consider more disks and a separate hardware controller for the RE4's. Not absolutely necessary, but desirable.
I thought about this already from previous discussions. Thanks for mentioning it, however. Greatly appreciated. In my case, this will be a future consideration.
Thanks for the fast response, Harm.
And many thanks to the other contributors for your time and wealth of information.

1. Has been recommended on these forums. Good to have USB3.0.
2. CPU is affordable and fast, with the ability to overclock it if I feel the need for a bit more speed in the future.
3. Would love 12GB, but will start with 6GB and perhaps add more later.
4. Started looking at Solid State Drives as I love the comments about how fast they load programs, etc., however as they are still really expensive felt that going with a fast standard drive would be best. As I plan on having a dual boot system, I would get two of these. One would have OS, CS5 and all my other software installed and the other one would have the minimum for CS5 installed and the OS tweaked for performance with video editing.
5. Both seem like great drives. Anyone any preference? Would plan on getting two and use one to store video rushes and the other for previews and the page file. Would getting a HD with a 6GB/s interface be worth it?
6. I want a quiet case and one that's no higher than 45cm. I already own the Antec Solo and I like the elastic HD mounting. Anyone any preference?
7. Noctua comes recommended on these forums, however am concerned with it's size. Love the idea of water cooling an the H50 system make it easier and less fuss being a closed system. Final choice must be quiet and I've read differing reviews on both.
8. Can't wait to use the MPE, so want a decent card. Torn between getting a cheaper card and upgrading later or spending the money now on a GTX480 and doing the software hack until fully supported.
9. With a GTX480 would a 750w PSU be enough?
GRAPHICS CARD
I've read reports of the GTX480 not being faster than the 2XX version card, however am I not correct in saying that the 2XX cards are no longer being sold? Should I be looking for a card from a particular manufacturer, i.e. Asus, Gainward, Point of View, Gigabyte? Or even Nvidia themselves?
I am worried about the heat generated by the GTX480 and the associated fan noise to cool it. Any thoughts?
Love the water cooling solution, perhaps some day. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-480-liquid-cooling-danger-den-review/1

DUAL BOOT
For my dual boot, has anyone had experience of using a HD caddy like this one? http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172727
I read a review which said that there was no real speed difference as there is no interface card, just a cable to the motherboard. It would make my dual boot less complicated to set-up as I wouldn't need to use Win 7 to dual boot or use 3rd party software like Acronis OS Selector. It would also free up space for a further internal HD.
PREMIERE OUTPUT TO A HDMI SCREEN
I've been going back and forward on the best solution to get a proper output of my timeline in Premiere to an external monitor. I was set to go with the Matrox MX02 Mini, however some here have said they're unstable (to a degree). Although with the CS5 drivers not out yet, perhaps it's too early to say.
Although none of my video work has been for broadcast (so far), I see a great benefit from being able to preview my timeline on a TV screen as opposed to a PC monitor. I will be running two screens so I need both outputs from the graphics card.
I look forward to receiving your collective wisdom.

Here are the components I plan to buy this week:

Plus a couple of PSU to motherboard extension cables and Windows 7 Pro. It was mentioned by someone that the CPU thermal paste you get with the HN-D14 is fine, so no need to buy anything else.
One extra fan (NF-S12B) to cool hard drives and the other for somewhere else in the case. Perhaps I don't need these.
I presume that I should try and get an OEM CPU as I'll not need the heatsink and fan that'll be in the retail version?
I'm just waiting for Scan to get the case back in stock. Should be today. All priced at Scan, except last three items which are from Overclockers.
Anyone any final thoughts or tips?

Computer Build for PS CS5

Just wondering what you think. The computer will be over clocked to about 5.0 and still be stable.

Buy a USB hard drive, and make a full, compressed image to the external
Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy AND USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step if something
doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing
over everything) since doing a restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation information that is
keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the
drive, even the hidden registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore the image to a brand new
drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a plain web link) but I use the program and it has
saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or re-activate a
single program, from Windows on up

Computer Configured for CS5 Ppro

I am looking to build a new PC especially for eiditng with CS5 we do a weekly hour long high school sports show and will edit in HD next season with JVC Gy HD 200 cameras injesting HDV video through both tape and hard drives to edit on several computers but this new computer will host the entire show. We will ned to export to a .mov format so will need to install quicktime.
I am looking at the Nvidia 4800 card an intel I7 6 core processor, a 124 gb solid state drive to house the OS and Ppro Cs5 along with two internal drives for storage. We will install 24 gb ram. Will this computer be very fast or is there a better configuration you can suggest?

Need some advice on a new build for CS5 Web Premium

I am looking for a powerful PC that I can use mostly for work and some light video work. I have been looking at several systems, but I can't decide if I should get the Core i7 875K, 950 or AMD 1090T for my needs.   I typically have many Adobe CS5 applications open at once like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator and Flash, iTunes, Quickbooks, Microsoft Work and Excel. I would ideally like to buy a pre-built rig, but I can surely put together if better. Below are a few I have been looking at, but I am unsure about cooling on one of them and about the 875K processor on the other one. I figured a gaming PC would be fast and powerful as my needs are behond a standard base config. I would like some advice also on a good video card. Been looking at crossfire ATI HD 5770, single ATI HD 5870, Radeon 6870, and GeForce GTX 470 and SLI GTX 460. I am not a typical overclocker, but I can be if it will help performance running apps. I leave my PC on all day and night so cooling is a factor.
Thanks in advance everyone for the advice on this.

Here is the final config I am looking to get. I am just debating the hard drive config and video cards. I want to be sure my video card will use teh GPU Accelleration and Advance features of Photoshop CS5. Do you know if the NVIDIA GTX 460 is compatable or should I spend more for the 470? I will not be gaming much and this pc is used mostly for work on CS5 Web Premium. How does this all look? All prices from NewEgg. I have another machine I will backup sata to each evening, so I really want a fast drive for program load and operation and another drive for data. What is best way to config drives? Should I get 2 of them and an SSD?

New computer build for video editing, daily use of Premiere Pro, what do you all think ?

I'm building a new PC for using video editing softwares with because my old one is getting tired. I'd like to know what people think of that configuration. I plan on using this computer with the latest versions of After Effects and Premiere, i'm also beginning to learn Cinema 4D.
ASUS Sabertooth Z97 MARK2
Corsair Vengeance 1866 DDR3 RAM (4x8gig)
Barracuda 2TB (x2)
Intel Core i7-4790k Haswell Quad Core 4.0Ghz
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Dual 3GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler
Cooler Master HAF 932 Case.
Power Supply ? Dunno what's good and durable here, care to help me what to choose ?
Those things combined are pretty much maxing out my budget so i'm open to changing something for something else if it's worth it and not twice the price of it.
Thanks !!

Lots of information at Tweakers Page
Power supply I would use Cooler Master V850 - 850W Power Supply with Fully Modular Cables and 80 PLUS Gold Certification …
Or Cooler Master V1000 - 1000W Power Supply with Fully Modular Cables and 80 PLUS Gold Certification … if you plan to add more hard drives in the future

New Computer Specs for CS5 Photoshop

I am in the market for a new computer. The main use for it will be my amateur photography work using Photoshop.
Current Idea is:
• Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-750 quad-core processor [2.66GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
• 12GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [4 DIMMs]
• 300GB 10K rpm & 640GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s - two hard drives
• 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
Message was edited by: DNB224
I am wondering whether I would be better off with two 7200 RPM drives configures as raid 0.
Also is there any reason to upgrade the graphics card. The one specified is listed on the adobe website as being certified for use with PS CS5.
Thanks for the help.

I had a bad experience with nVidia. When I moved from XP to Vista I had a VERY expensive nVidia Quadro FX card, and I found out the hard way that they don't support older cards well at all, no matter how much you've paid. I futzed with it for months, then bought into "the other guys", at which point I got fast, rock solid reliable Windows operation - as it turns out, for a year and a half, then another 5 months on Windows 7 with no trouble. Lore has it ATI has better hardware too. All I can say is it works for me, and works well.
As far as I've been able to see Photoshop works equally well with ATI as nVidia. They use OpenGL which has been around on both platforms for a long while. Even if Photoshop CS6 uses OpenCL ATI is right there on the forefront with nVidia. I really like what AMD did when they bought ATI.
C: is RAID 0, on which I keep Windows and my data. I have a 3rd non-Raid 1 TB drive as D:, left over from a prior system, on which I put the Photoshop temp file. It's not screaming fast, but then CS5 doesn't seem to use the disk much. I just don't see the system waiting for the disk. Even opening huge files (I work with 1 GB .psd files in my astronomical image processing sometimes) is not slow.
Trust me, the first time you fight through a hard drive failure and spend days getting the system back in order (assuming you do backups) you'll wish you'd gone for reliability. A terabyte is a HUGE amount of data. Just doing backups and restorals to/from an external disk takes hours upon hours!

Hi,
Based on the specs of the LG unit:
(a) SCART to VGA: Most likely the signal frequency on VGA port of a normal computer monitor does not match the signal frequency of the SCART port therefore you can't get the pictures/images.
(b) SCART to DVI: you need more than just a cable, you need a converter because SCART uses analog signals and DVI use digital signals.

Computer setup for CS5 Master Collection do I need more Memory?

HI! I am looking for some big time guidance. My IT dept. installed CS5 Master Collection on my
desktop. I have a hard time rendering and even in the Media Encoder, as it takes forever for it to finish. I'm thinking I'm not even close to what I need in terms of memory, etc. Below is what I have. Any help would be great!
HP 6005 Desktop
Windows XP- Professional x64 Edition. Version 2003 SP2 ( I know Premier won't run on this system, so we have CS4 Premier Pro on it, it's still slow.)
AMD Phenom X4 B95
2.99Ghz
2.75 GB of Ram
149GB capacity on C drive ( I keep all my files on an external 1TB drive). Currently says I have 103GB used and 45.5 Free.
ATI Radeon HD 4200
Thanks!

XP64 is unsupported!
You need a new operating system and a boatload more RAM. That's a low end machine and isn't up to the high end tasks.
With Win 7 you might get away with web design work but forget it for video.

Yes, another computer build but with a specific purpose.

Firstly, I thankyou if you have even opened this thread. Forgive me if my question seems innane!
I am planning a new computer build for the following purpose
PS CS6 - working files at 2GB plus
Premiere CS6*
*My video work is very specific. Projects are atypically less than 5 mins in duration and often 30sec TVC type spots.
Source material is AVCHD, PNG and in near future uncompressed files from the Blackmagic Cinema Camera (10bit)
Final output is to be broadcast HD quality at top end and many at web level via YouTube.
I try to be 'tidy' in my editing and keep track numbers to 4 (if that makes any difference?)
I am not the most tech savvy guy by a long shot, compared to Bill and Harm I'd be luck to rate .2 on the richter scale.
My thoughts thus far are this:
Full tower
3690 proc
64GB of ram
MOBO? Not sure if to wait for 'Blunderbolt'
****Numerous HDD's as required
GTX680
Win 7 64
****So the question I know will roll your eyes! Mother look away now... This may get ugly!
Given the short durations and 10bit source, can I avoid RAID? I know enough that a few layers of 10bit must be a huge amount of data (back to no other way than raid) but wondering how it compares to different intensive compressed codecs such as AVCHD? Should I put on my tin foil hat and hide?
I would really appreciate your thoughts.
Regards,
Peter Lloyd Culley.

I do not know enough to answer your question regarding RAID. However, I did notice that you wanted to get an i7-3960 CPU. I may not be a guru but from my experience with the i7-3930 and what I have read since those processors came out, there is not enough of a difference between the two chips to make up for the price difference. I'll even risk to say that you'd be paying an extra $500 just for bragging rights. The i7-3930 is just as good, just clocked a bit lower and has 3 megs less L3 cache. Once you overclock the 3930, it basically performs just as well as its much more expensive brother.
Save money on your CPU and put it somewhere else where it will make more of a difference to your system.

Ann: Script Panel replacement for CS5

I've been working on a fun project the last few weeks in the new Extension Builder for CS5.
Here's what I came up with (I think it's very cool!) :

I don't think Adobe pays very much for this stuff, unfortunately...
I'm gonna have some more fun with it yet. Stay tuned...

Hopefully I have everything and are ready to go... let me know?

Several drawbacks to that iMac:
1) Slower, less powerful CPU - fewer cores and fewer threads. Plus, no iMac can be overclocked at all; they are permanently locked at stock speed.
2) No RAID support or capability whatsoever.
3) Can only accommodate a single internal fast disk - period. That disk, unfortunately, is used for the OS and programs. The only viable outputs on that iMac are the Thunderbolt ports - and they, too, are limited as to the number of disks that can be connected.
4) The 3TB disk is normally way, way, way overkill for an OS disk. However, given the complete lack of internal upgradability and the lack of internal space, Apple might as well install the largest-capacity disk it could get its hands on.

S David I have 2 licens for cs5.5 and have serial number . I cancelled if from my computer (windows 8 operation system) i just purchased a mac i mak all in one computer and want to install my cs5.5 on it ... i need a download link to do this can you help

Hi David,
I would like to inform you that if you have a Mac serial number with you, only then you would be able to activate it on your Mac machine.
Here is the download link for the same.
