Thank you for your trust and sending me a question for help again. Every time netizens ask for help, I am sincerely worried. I am afraid that accidentally misconfiguring, poor performance-price ratio is a secondary problem, and the big problem is that there are many problems and even the inability to turn on the computer. Every time I choose a new hardware product, I have to research it, fully understand its parameters and actual evaluation articles, and then carefully read the opinions and comments of experts and experts on the hardware forum to fully understand what I have in mind. Once there are enough, they will be pushed to the front desk and configured for netizens who ask for help.
The result of this is that my configuration plan will become a classic within a certain period of time, and it will be difficult for you to find other excellent alternatives and surpass them.
After I answered a netizen's "Computer Assembly Configuration List 2013" on 2013-07-10, people continued to like the recommended configuration of the Core i3 3220
. It has been 174 times today. I believe it is because many netizens have used their own personal practices to prove the awesomeness and classicness of this configuration that they like it.
I hope that after carefully preparing for you for at least three hours today, the 5,500-yuan-level host will become an immortal classic. A certain amount of money can be used to achieve maximum performance and an exclusive desktop host with the best price/performance ratio.
Classics can’t be created by just stacking famous brands and high-end products, but they certainly can’t be built with second- and third-rate brands.
The best and best configuration within your budget requirements is tailor-made for you as follows:

The quotation is an accurate quotation from Guangzhou, but according to my habit, a price margin is naturally added. For example, Leadtek QUADRO FX1800 has a super low price of 588 yuan on a certain website. The price quoted by a second-crown seller is very credible. But there was also a quote of 1,800 yuan, so I took a middle equilibrium price. If you get it within 600 yuan, you will definitely be overjoyed. This host saves 800 yuan on the graphics card alone...
The Samsung 840 PRO MZ-7PD128BW 128G was sold in large quantities for 555 yuan before the Spring Festival. Now, Perhaps due to the supply of goods being affected by the Spring Festival, the price is as high as more than 800 yuan. Anyway, if you don’t buy it if it’s too expensive, it’s best to look for it and ask again. I don’t think I need to introduce the powerful performance of Intel Xeon E3-1230v2, right? The E3-1230 V2 processor has four cores and eight threads, and has the performance of an i7, killing the third-generation i5, fourth-generation i5 and all AMD products in seconds, but at the price of an i5, it has a reputation of being even cheaper than the fourth-generation i5. In the past two years, it has been highly sought after and loved by people in the professional drawing industry. Its powerful multi-threaded computing capabilities and the price of only less than 1,280 yuan make its price-performance ratio very outstanding.
Although E3-1230 V2 now has a new brother E3-1230 V3 based on the 1150 architecture, the price of E3-1230 V3 is slightly more than 100 yuan, and the performance improvement is not great. According to professional Comprehensive testing shows that the overall performance is not as good as E3-1230 V2.
E3 1230 V2 and E3 1230 V3 are both server-class CPUs, so why is V2 said to be a good CPU but V3 not?
From the characteristics of the two:
E3 1230?V3 has fewer features than E3 1230 V2: ①Intel on-demand power distribution technology ②Intel fast memory access technology ③Intel flexible memory Access Technology ④Intel vPro Technology.
E3 1230 V3 has more features than E3 1230 V2: ① Intel TSX-NI technology ② Intel Core Code technology ③ Intel identity protection technology. At the same time, the power consumption is increased from 69W to 80W.
To put it bluntly, E3 1230?V3 lacks technologies suitable for civilian use, but has more technologies suitable for servers. Therefore, E3 V3 is more suitable for the server field, and E3 1230 V2 has the qualities of a desktop computer.
Therefore, the E3-1230 V2 is still the first choice CPU for professional design, drawing, video production and rendering machines.
Although E3-1230 V2 does not support smart response technology, please note that it has little to do with the original poster's application and has no impact. For professional graphics design such as PS, CDR, 3DMAX, AE, etc., the most important thing is the multi-threaded computing capability of the CPU, and the super powerful multi-tasking computing capability of the E3-1230 V2 with four cores and eight threads will be very helpful for this. Ultra-fast and smooth execution of a class of professional applications.
For E3-1230 V2, of course the best motherboard is B75. The positioning of the B75 chipset itself is to bring high-standard and high-tech performance to users while effectively controlling costs. Therefore, if this type of motherboard is sold for more than 700 yuan, it will not be cost-effective. Many laymen mistakenly believe that the more expensive the B75 motherboard, the higher the grade. This concept is completely wrong.
Here I carefully selected the ASUS P8B75-M PLUS for the poster. This is a product of a major first-line brand! Currently, there is a very affordable price quoted on a certain website within 400, which is quite a bargain. This is a standard large board that supports four memory sticks and has the best upgradeability. Its materials and quality are far from comparable to second- and third-rate brands.
Please be careful not to buy ASUS P8B75-M LX PLUS. There are many and complicated models in the hardware market, so be sure to pay attention.
The lowest price of the Sahara Mozu AP700V player version is within 229 yuan. It is a good quality 200 yuan level active PFC power supply with a rated power of 550W, and it is a semi-module! A strong power supply can ensure the stable and long-term operation of the independent graphics card, which consumes a lot of power. In this power supply with a rated power of 550W, no other brand offers a price lower than 260 yuan.
Good goods are not necessarily expensive, and cheap goods are not necessarily bad. The key is to look at the specific brand and model. Different hardware has different advantages and disadvantages, and the price is also different. And some hardware is purely for grabs and cannot be bought no matter how cheap it is. I don’t understand why many people choose Antec power supply. It is obviously a Laji power supply. There are no original American products in mainland China. They are all produced by mainland OEMs. Don’t you know this? Except for the Antec BP-430Plus manufactured by FSP, which is relatively classic, other models manufactured by other OEMs are basically not good.
The accurate model number of Samsung 840 Pro series SATA3 128GB is MZ-7PD128BW. When I checked its latest quotation today, I found that it was quite confusing, and there was a high price of 900 yuan.
I have no choice but to temporarily set it at 800 yuan in the configuration list. When you and your friends go to Zhongguancun to buy on the spot, pay attention to the market price, and then haggle. To see how much you want to haggle, take a look at the merchant's price in the picture below. Quote!
Samsung 840PRO SATA3 128GB (MZ-7PD128BW) has impressive and powerful performance in terms of speed and reliability. It is Samsung’s flagship solid-state drive that allows you to boot up like lightning. Its excellent The read and write performance ensures you a smoother application experience. It is an excellent product that can improve the work efficiency of professional users. It is a high-performance SSD tailored for advanced users. This product is completely designed independently by Samsung. All main components of SSD are produced by Samsung itself. The data transfer rate of Samsung Toggle DDR2 NAND flash memory chip reaches 400M per second (Mbps), which is 3 times the speed of traditional chips, greatly improving the reading performance and its energy consumption. Lower than other competing products. In addition, the 840 PRO has a warranty period of up to 5 years.
The performance of this console is super powerful for rendering, animation rendering and virtual reality, and you will be very satisfied. But it's not possible to play games. After all, professional graphics independent graphics cards like Leadtek QUADRO FX1800 can only be used for graphics. The so-called profession has specialization, and you can't have it both ways. If you are not a professional who has to do renderings, animation rendering and virtual reality all day long, nor do you do it every day, and want to play games at the same time, then you can replace the graphics card with Inzo GTX660 Ice Dragon Edition, which sells for 1299 Yuan Nei.
Inzo GTX660 Ice Dragon Edition is a very popular classic high-end gaming independent graphics card. Its upgraded version is Inzo GTX760 Ice Dragon Edition but it costs 1,799 yuan. Inzon's ultra-public version uses materials and designs that enable its GTX series of independent graphics card products to have a good combination of powerful performance and ultra-quiet performance, with even more powerful gaming performance than the public version. However, high-end gaming-type independent graphics cards are definitely far inferior to Leadtek's professional graphics independent graphics cards in terms of professional graphics design and production, so you have to consider the choice carefully!
I leave the final decision to you, haha! Anyway, the performance of professional graphics independent graphics cards in gaming is not good, and in severe cases, it is terrible. Not good at watching high-definition movies or anything like that. If you are not doing such professional drawing and rendering, of course there is no problem in using a high-end gaming independent graphics card to complete this task, but the efficiency will be much lower than that of a professional graphics card!
If you open a small studio or are a personal designer, then I advise you to buy a professional graphics independent graphics card. "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools." If you want to play games, I suggest you get an extra one if you have the money.
In the related drivers of professional graphics cards, manufacturers will add many auxiliary options to optimize rendering speed and effects. When using game cards to render graphics professionally, picture damage and defects may occur. However, using professional cards completely avoids similar problems. What's more, game cards can only render different plain colors, but with the special functions of professional cards, the rendering elements can be fully displayed.
In the end I almost forgot, you also need an LCD monitor.
For drawing, a 23-inch monitor will be much more convenient than a small one, but it will also be more expensive. Dell's LCD monitors, which are positioned for professional drawing purposes, are relatively well-known and of first-class quality. However, the price of this product is extremely high, usually above 3,000 yuan.
I recommend you Dell P2314H
The Dell P2314H monitor uses a 23-inch high-definition IPS screen, a narrow bezel design, a resolution of 1920×1080, a screen ratio of 16:9, and a display effect of exquisite. The current general quotation is within 1,300 yuan, which is relatively affordable.
As far as color reproduction is concerned, there is currently no LCD monitor in the world that can surpass traditional CRT monitors in color reproduction capabilities. However, CRT monitors have been phased out, mainly due to their large size, heavy weight, and high power consumption. Generally around 100W, which is not as environmentally friendly and energy-saving as LCD monitors. But there are still many professional graphics industries and people using CRT.
If color reproduction issues are not considered, LCD monitors are sufficient for graphic design, especially CAD.
As long as the monitor is set at the optimal resolution for panel cutting (for example, 15-inch is generally 1024×768, 17-inch is generally 1280×1024), there will be no distortion problem.
In addition, LCD monitors are also classified for different uses. For those who pursue gaming effects, the performance indicators mainly depend on the corresponding time. Professional LCDs used in graphics workstations pursue color reproduction and stability.
Don't worry about the widescreen LCD monitor stretching the image, as long as it has the right resolution or the best resolution. Widescreen is much better than regular screen. Anyone who says regular screen (4:3) is better is just nonsense from non-professionals! Because widescreen (16:9) Photoshop toolbars can be arranged on the left and right sides of the monitor, leaving a more standard drawing space in the middle, which is very convenient. If your drawing monitor is 22-24 inches, it is most suitable. If it is too big, you can’t see it and drawing will be very tiring.
Secondly, when using PS P drawings (CAD 3D does not matter), the key point is to avoid color cast on the monitor. This is the most important thing. CRT flat screen monitors do not have this problem. But there are LCD monitors. There are two types of color casts in LCD monitors. One is from a bad brand, so I recommend you buy one from a big manufacturer, such as the international brand Dell, or the domestic one from TPV. ViewSonic and Samsung are also available. But don’t buy the Philips one. It uses TPV LCD panels, which are not good. Also make sure that the viewing angle of the monitor is not wide enough, because if you sit a little higher or a little lower, or the angle is a little slanted, the colors will be biased. So you have to buy one with a wide viewing angle. Currently, the better one is an IPS screen LED LCD monitor. This ensures that the colors don’t shift. Otherwise, if you sit a little lower, the resulting image will be all black or reddish when printed, and you will only find out that the color is cast when you sit upright. This is a common thing.
The optimal resolution of a 23-inch monitor is 1920x1080. Basically all mainstream 23-inch large-screen monitors have reached this resolution. 1920x1080 resolution is a very popular Full HD FHD resolution, which is what everyone often says. The 1080P full HD mode will have excellent high-definition visual effects when watching high-definition movies. Generally, the 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate system will automatically set to the best resolution after connecting to the computer host. If you are worried, check to see if the setting is for a 16:9 ratio. Otherwise, you may not be able to see a certain part of the screen clearly.
If you don’t have enough money and don’t need such a professional LCD monitor, I recommend you to buy the Samsung S22C150N, which costs about 800 yuan.
Considering the above price issues, especially the actual selling price of Leadtek’s professional graphics independent graphics card, your total price of 5,800 yuan includes the Samsung S22C150N LCD monitor, which should be no problem.
If you want to buy that Dell LCD monitor, but you go to many stores and cut the price many times but still can’t buy it, then you can only remove the solid-state drive! I'll add it back when I have more money.
