A few months ago, I built a computer with an Intel i7-2600k, GTX 570, Asus Maximus IV Extreme and a HAF X. Best yet. It has more power by far than a Quadro 2000. As long as CS6 supports my card, I'm certain that I can run it far better with my GTX 570. If not, I'll find something that can alter the code that will let me use my 570.BTW, my 570 runs CS5.5 premiere perfectly and in realtime.Thanks :)~asuperpower

CS6 said to "demand" Quadro, on the Adobe site. Other sites say Quadro not great gaming card. A fork in the road for you, I think.

You will need to install a video card as this MB does not come with onboard graphics. This MB is designed for over clocking every component so you may want to get one that is not as hi9gh end as this one is unless that is the type of system yo are trying to build. Also you will have to get a video card that is for a 64 bit OS, not 32 bit. If you are just trying to build a decent gaming system that doesn't involve overclocking you may want to consider getting an Intel or Gigabit MB. If you are set on Asus then try the Saber tooth or one of their other boards. You can chat with them online during the day time hours (Pacific time). Also be aware that this board has a 2011 socket for the 6 and 8 core I7 processors and they are not cheap. Hope this provides the info you are wanting.

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

Quad i7 is much more powerful. Careful with MSI products, too much high end gaming burns computer up insanely fast.

In a short answer, "yes". But I would recommend that you read through the following. 1) The processor Intel i7 4930K is definitely an overkill for this graphics card unless you are going for a SLI configuration with 2 of this graphic cards. Personally I would recommend for you to get GTX780TI to be on par with your processor.2) No comments on Mother Board, it is flawless.3) Corsair 32 GB of DDR3 RAM is rated at 1600MHz if I am not mistaken. From the specs of the mother board and processor, I see that it supports 1866MHz modules. So why don't you go for 1866MHz RAM?****For a PC with this much configuration, it is a must to have a good SSD to improve the overall performance. In a short answer, "yes".

This is a professional class graphics card not meant for gaming. Nvidias GeForce cards are gaming cards. Also windows experience scores are crap and a useless measure of anything. You are looking for cuda cores in graphics cards so you can look at nvidias product specs for those. Obviously the more expensive the more cores you get

I'm currently Using this Processor on a LGA 1150 socket, Z97 motherboard. I have not been able to Overclock using the wizard without the computer Crashing the GPU (GTX 660) I have not tried to overclock manually. I can say that the fan that comes with it does a decent job and can be used for running High Quality games without overclocking (WatchDogs looks great, it has it's own problems, Tomb Raider works great on Max, Skyrim looks great too, But I do have 32gigs of memory as well) So, Yes. And Overclocking isn't needed so far, I can't find a game I want to play that can challenge this processor even at it's out-of-box speed.

Yes, I have been very pleased with this processor. The only thing to remember is that this unit relies on your RAM for anything gaming related. I paired mine with 8 Gb's of 1600mhz RAM and can run most games on high to max. Photoshop and even video editing should be breeze. Hope that helps your decision. Make sure to take a look at the A8-6600k too! it is the next gen of this unit and its on sale right now. ;)

I received the VCGGTX650T1XPB as ordered back in January. If you're worried, spend a little extra and get the PNY GTX750Ti (VCGGTX750T2XPB-OC).

What is the difference between the 2? I didn't know if I should get this or G51j-3D. Using the computer for mainly games. My only problem is that I am not a huge ATI fan, have had their cards so many times and have been disappointed so many times.

I was using 2065 for a long time and am very satisfied with the result. I never tried 2080 but I guess it shouldn't be a big difference between them as they both are manufactured by Standard Process. You can find the details on Standard Process webside.

There is no stopping... faster everything lets you get things done faster.... you'll be thanking yourself for getting a great computer, especially if you have to edit a lot of video. Time is valuable too and a 'slow' computer is just annoying especially rendering/compiling/outputting video. Buy the best you can afford. Plus, it sounds like a great gaming computer too if you are into that. I bought a $1500 system nearly 4 years ago... while not as powerful as yours obviously, it's still an i-7 with some upgraded geforce graphics card. A powerful computer will last a long time where a bargain computer likely will have to be upgraded regularly just to keep up with the software.

This is one of the top 3 or 4 notebook video cards out there at the moment. If money is no object the 780 is the fastest in the nvidia family but the 770 is still well worth getting. You can go to notebookcheck.net and check out the specs and framerates of all the latest cards. You wont be dissapointed w the 770 or 780 good luck w your decision.

Yes, I have it overclocked to 4.0GHz in my system and it runs great for video editing and rendering in addition to gaming, definitely worth the money.

I would agree with JPL above, the difference is primarily GPU vs. CPU performance. With that being said, I would like to point out a much more potent APU codenamed 'Kaveri' will be available around Feb 2014. I'm not sure what the purpose of your build will be, but if you're looking for a powerful small form factor PC (like a HTPC for example), Kaveri will undoubtedly be the more robust option. Otherwise, I would highly recommend the A10-5700 because it has nearly the same graphics and CPU effectiveness as the A10-5800k but consumes significantly less power, the only difference being you cannot overclock the A10-5700.

I have built 3 machines now in an architectural / engineering firm all with this card primarily for Autodesk Revit rendering. It's a fantastic card. As for gaming....I can't speak to that too much, but I know it improved the rendering speeds by a substantial amount, so I bet it would be good for gaming as well. Although, with my next build, I'm planning to use the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 - it's a 4gb card, so you'll need a little more RAM in the system to account for it. If you build a system with a Raid array (especially with SSD disks), you will see dramatic results over a standard hard drive. According to Skyrim specs, this card or the GTX 770 would be great for play: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:System_Requirements

I use my ENVY for everything from Adobe Photoshop and Creative Suite to online gaming. The graphics chip is one of the best, but I also spend alot of time editing photography, and creating things. I've had great luck with the way the processor works, and haven't experienced lag.
