Dateks Creative workstation with a Core i7-13700KF (8C/24T) processor, a 24 GB GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card and a fast 64GB (2x32) DDR4 3200 MHz RAM is optimized to work with any currently available audio and photo editing software. This system also delivers outstanding performance in 4K and higher resolution video editing and during 3D model creation and rendering.
This Creative series computer meets and mostly exceeds system requirements of any audio editing and music production software so it can be used in professional sound studios to create high fidelity audio content. FL Studio, Ableton Live, Reason, Cubase, SOUND FORGE, Adobe Audition, Audacity are just some of the software you can run flawlessly on this PC. Extensive range of internal and external connections allow one to add professional grade sound cards, MIDI and DJ controllers and musical instruments.
Commonly used image editing software from Adobe, Corel, CyberLink etc. are constantly updated with features that support hardware acceleration. It means that these tasks are done by graphics card which is faster than CPU due to their parallel computing capabilities. That’s why we installed GeForce RTX 4090 graphics with 24 GB GDDR6X memory and 16384 compute (CUDA) cores.
If you have ever used the Enhance Details function in Lightroom then you probably know that a GPU gives enormous performance boost. For example even an average GeForce GTX 1060 completes this task 15 to 20 times faster than Intel UHD 630 Graphics built in Core i9-9900K CPU!
As mentioned earlier, the role of GPU in image editing tools is constantly increasing but overall performance still mostly depends on the capabilities of the CPU and that’s why this PC is equipped with a state-of-the-art 8 core Core i7-13700KF processor with 30 MB of cache, 3.40 GHz base and 5.40 GHz turbo frequency that ensures you may use any Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop and Illustrator function without delays.
Video editing benefits significantly from a powerful CPU, too. If you’ll ask 10 people with experience working with video editing software, whether it was Windows Movie Maker, Premiere Pro or Vegas, at least 9 of them will tell you that most annoying part of the process is rendering because it takes a lot of time to export the file - mostly rendering itself takes more time than the playback of the video itself.
Rendering time depends on multiple parameters like CPU microarchitecture, cache size, core clock, speed and the amount of RAM. But the most important gain depends from core count – more cores will always decrease render times.
In our experience this Creative series workstation with a Core i7-13700KF 8-core processor provides the best performance in video editing tasks at this price point.
Still an excellent CPU is not enough to do professional video editing and post-processing because live preview and a lot of effects use hardware acceleration that requires a powerful GPU with a lot of VRAM especially if you work with 4K or higher resolution media. The recommended VRAM amount is directly dependent to the resolution of files you work with:
| Resolution | 1080p | 4K | 6K | 8K |
| Recommended VRAM amount | 4GB | 6GB | 8GB | 10GB |
According to these requirements we have chosen to equip this desktop PC with a powerful GeForce RTX 4090 video card as its 24 GB GDDR6X VRAM will provide the power needed to work with 1080p, 4K and higher resolution materials in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, MAGIX Vegas, DaVinci Resolve and other resource-hungry video editing and post-processing software.
Some of you may ask why a serious Creative workstation is equipped with gaming grade GeForce RTX 4090 graphics instead of a professional NVIDIA Quadro or AMD FirePro solution. The truth is that gaming cards are more affordable and deliver better overall performance if we take multiple usage scenarios in account (photo and video editing, 3D animation, games etc.). And you don’t have to be ashamed if you want to relax from work and play computer games with a high framerate - GeForce RTX 4090 unlike the Quadro will make it possible.
It’s also important to have decent amount of speedy RAM in video editing tools so the work with complex 1080p and 4K projects can be done in a breeze. We provide a 3200 MHz 64GB (2x32) DDR4 RAM which can be doubled thanks to free memory slots on the Z790 (DDR4) motherboard.
The most popular 3D tools like Autodesk 3ds Max, Maya, Revit and Cinema 4D can effectively utilize just a single processor core so it’s important to have a CPU with higher core clock. The same rule applies to AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit.
The situation is different in rendering tasks (Arnold, Mental Ray, V-Ray, Keyshot etc.) which support multithreading so the core and thread count vastly decreases export times. That’s why some companies provide their employees with 3D workstations that are meant only for modelling while the rendering is done on separate machines called render farms.
This Creative workstation with its Core i7-13700KF CPU with a maximum clock speed of 5.40 GHz allows to do 3D modelling and animation flawlessly while its huge core count (8 cores / 24 threads) provides quick rendering speeds, too. To display complex models on your high-resolution monitor there’s a GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB graphics card installed with a lot of headroom even for more complex tasks. Most 3D and CAD software suggest an amount of RAM from 8 to 16 gigabytes, so our choice of 64GB (2x32) DDR4 3200 MHz is more than enough to achieve best performance.
The included Intel Core i7-13700KF processor has 8 cores and 30 MB cache. It has a base frequency of 3.40 GHz, which can be increased to 5.40 GHz for more demanding tasks thanks to Turbo technology.
The Intel Core i7-13700KF CPU with impressive 8C/24T core configuration, huge 30 MB cache and core clock ranging from 3.40 GHz to 5.40 GHz receives whopping 46000+ points in famous PassMark test. By purchasing a PC with a Core i7-13700KF processor you will get peace of mind for several years as its power allows you to render and work with complex 3D models and do professional video editing with fast rendering times. Of course, any current and upcoming computer game won’t be a problem for this computer because of its powerful GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card.
64GB (2x32) DDR4 RAM with 3200 MHz frequency and CL 16 latency will make sure your PC never slows down or jerks, no matter how hard it's working.
To ensure fast loading of the operating system and to guarantee a pleasant use of the computer regardless of its application, we have installed a 2TB NVMe Gen4 SSD in this system with speeds of up to 7000 MB/s reading and 5400 Mb/s writing data.
Given the amount of time we spend in front of a computer nowadays, the impact it has on our physical health and well-being, or ergonomics, plays an important role in our choice of computer. Laptops are by design unsuitable for long-term use because the relatively small screen is placed very close to the keyboard and the two cannot be in the right position for the human body at the same time. Prolonged work in an unnatural sitting position can cause neck and back pain and even lead to poor posture. Similarly, looking at a small screen puts increased strain on the eye muscles and, over time, almost inevitably leads to visual impairment.
By contrast, if we buy a stationary computer and add a keyboard, mouse and monitor of the right size, we can design our workplace in a way that is comfortable for us and as safe as possible for our bodies, thus avoiding increased fatigue, stiffness and pain in muscles and joints, and serious health problems in the long term.
Remember! No matter what computer you are sitting at, it is advisable to take a 3-5 minute break every 60 minutes to walk around, exercise your muscles, joints and vision, alternating between near and far objects to prevent your eye muscles from getting used to the unwanted focus at a certain distance.
Mobile processors and graphics cards have become more powerful in the last couple of years but the difference between the performance of a laptop and a desktop PC is still marginal. Of course you can run modern games and even professional photo and video editing software on a laptop but at the same price point a desktop computer will offer more performance than a laptop at almost any task.
In our experience insufficient cooling is also a serious problem in laptops and there’s an easy explanation – users want their devices to be powerful yet thin and light which is almost an impossible combination to achieve. Most consumers and manufacturers prefer design and mobility over performance, which results in a visually attractive product that heats up rapidly after just few minutes or even seconds after putting an increased load on the main components. Laptop fans start spinning faster to cope with the excessive heat. This increases the noise and is very often not effective enough, so the CPU and/or GPU reaches its temperature limit and the thermal throttling (self-preservation by significantly lowering the clock speed) kicks in. That results in a big loss of performance.
You don’t have to worry about overheating when you purchase our Creative series desktop PC. We have installed optimal 360mm Liquid Cooler which will make sure that the Core i7-13700KF processor delivers its advertised performance without overheating. The temperature and noise levels will remain at a comfortable level all the time.
Stationary computers are our passion and our heart's desire, and for more than a decade this has been appreciated by our customers, among whom are professional surveyors and stringers, advertising agencies, architectural offices, banks, IT start-ups and others who care not only about the final price of the product, but also about the quality and professional attitude in all purchasing processes, including order processing, computer assembly, testing and delivery, as well as those rare occasions when warranty or post-warranty repair or maintenance is required .
When you receive an order for a computer kit, whether it is €250 or €2500, it is reviewed by a knowledgeable specialist before the order is placed to ensure that the components selected are compatible with each other and provide the best possible performance and quality for the tasks you need. If we see any shortcomings or room for improvement, we always contact the customer and provide arguments for recommended changes to the package, according to the intended application of the specific system.
Another important detail that makes us stand out from our competitors is that any changes to the computer set-up, which occasionally occur when a component runs out of stock or a better-priced or better-quality alternative is seen, are agreed with the customer. For example, if we notice that the RAM we originally chose is out of stock, but another manufacturer's model with identical or better specifications is available at the same price, we will certainly call to inform you of the situation and offer alternatives, but the customer always has the final say.
Any TopPC.ee stationary computer will be set up by our experienced technicians at no extra charge! Each system is carefully assembled with optimal component placement and cable organisation, which makes the system more visually appealing and improves the efficiency of the cooling system.
If the Windows operating system licence is ticked in the computer configurator, we will install it with all the necessary drivers so that when you receive your computer, you can use it fully from the first time you switch it on!
Every TopPC.ee computer set is provided with a 2-year warranty. The serial number and individual warranty period of each installed component is reflected in the warranty certificate, which is issued to the customer in printed form upon receipt of the goods. For individual components where the manufacturer's warranty period exceeds two years, we will provide full warranty service until the end of the warranty period for that particular product. Our kits are not sealed or otherwise restricted, so the owner is free to open the case to clean it, add memory or make other changes to the computer.
Each TopPC.ee computer kit is made to individual order and according to the computer components specified in the order. Therefore, a computer package is a product that is made to the customer's specifications or is clearly personalised, and the consumer cannot exercise the right of withdrawal when purchasing a computer package (Article 16 of EU Directive 2011/83/EU).
When the operating system is started it "loads" from the HDD to the RAM. The same process happens with all the applications and files opened with them. Therefore it is very important to have enough space in the RAM for all the above data for enabling the CPU to handle this information at a high speed.
If insufficient capacity RAM has been selected the CPU starts to use the HDD for its short-term operations and the computer becomes extremely slow at this moment. Therefore it is important to buy the memory volume required for handling the relevant tasks.
For average use, like the Internet browsing, working with documents and enjoying multimedia possibilities, 4GB RAM is fully sufficient.
For demanding 3D computer games, video/audio editing applications and any professional software at least 8GB RAM is required.
You should remember that there is never too much RAM. Therefore, if you can afford it you should buy more. Still you should take into account that the RAM is a parameter which can be upgraded by buying additional volume later if there are enough free memory connection slots in the motherboard.
The most important difference between video cards is in their GPU or the central graphics core. This parameter determines the graphic performance and can be improved only if the whole card is replaced with another one.
Also video cards with equal GPU and model may differ by the volume of the graphic memory, the memory type, the cooling type and clock frequencies.
The graphic memory volume provides a possibility to play 3D games at a higher resolution, therefore, if you like games and plan to buy a big monitor or several monitors you should select a video card with the memory capacity of at least 1GB. If a video card is short of graphic memory it may "borrow" the necessary volume from the computer RAM. Still the difference in speed is considerable and in favour of the graphic memory.
You should pay attention to the memory type and frequency. DDR3 memory is better than DDR2 and slower than DDR5. And also DDR3 1800MHz memory will be faster than 1600MHz memory of the same type. Also the memory bandwidth is important within one memory type. Thus, DDR3 256bit memory will be faster than DDR3 128bit memory.
The type and quality of cooling is among the most important selection criteria of a video card. A good cooler contains one big or several small cooler and a bigger radiator than the standard cooling equipment of the relevant video card. You should ask our managers and they will help to select the best offer.
It is possible to buy a good cooler as a separate device, however, it is quite expensive ~25 LVL, therefore it is better to buy a card with sufficiently good cooling included.
When cards with identical GPU are selected you should pay attention to the availability of OC (OverClock) or industrially overclocked versions of the card. This type of the card secures higher graphic performance, still it has to be taken into account that it is usually achieved on the account of more intense (louder) cooling and operational stability.
The first M.2 SSDs appeared on the market shortly after the debut of Intel's Haswell architecture at the end of 2013. However, they didn't gain popularity until late 2015, when Intel's Skylake architecture and 100-series motherboards became more and more common to find M.2 sockets on. By early 2017, with the launch of Intel's 7th generation Kaby Lake and AMD Ryzen processors, almost all Z270 and X370 motherboards are equipped with one or even more M.2 sockets.
M.2 drives are basically available in 3 standards, which basically denote their physical characteristics - M.2 2280 (card size 22x80mm), M.2 2260 (22x60mm), M.2 2242 (22x42mm), but the M.2 technical specification also allows other sizes.
Unfortunately, physical dimensions are not the only differences that can be found in M.2 SSDs. The interface that these cards use to connect to the CPU is also different. Currently, two types of M.2 SSD are most widely used - SATA and PCI-Express. M.2 SSDs are capable of speeds up to 600 MB/s via the SATA interface, which is limited by the current SATA 3 protocol. It is because of this limitation that M.2 was adapted to be compatible with the PCI-Express bus to provide higher data transfer rates, which can reach up to 4 GB/s via the PCI-E interface! Several drives are already capable of read speeds of 2500 MB/s and more.
The main thing to remember is that despite the similarity of the ports, these drives are not compatible with each other! On a board with an M.2 socket connected only to the SATA interface, it will not be possible to use a PCI-E interface M.2 SSD and vice versa. However, from 2017 onwards, with the Intel B250, H270 and Z270 motherboards as well as the AMD X370 motherboards, almost all M.2 sockets are universal and support both SATA and PCI-Express interface M.2 SSDs. We always recommend checking the board manufacturer's website for this though.
An SSD disc consists of microchips, thus there are no moving parts in it and it is completely silent (0 dB). Due to this fact an SSD disc is more resistant to vibration and other mechanical impact than an HDD.
Due to the construction specifics higher volume SSD discs usually are higher-speed and the different in the speed can be even multifold. Therefore prior to buying it you should study carefully the indices of the operation speed of the SSD disc - reading and writing speed in Megabytes per second (MB/s). The operation speed of an average SSD disc has to be ~250 MB/s. Read un ~200 MB/s. Write. For high performance discs these indices will be ~350 MB/s Read un ~450MB/s Write accordingly.
The operation speed and volume of SSD discs is improving rapidly and the prices are falling. Therefore you should buy this type of disc only when the high-speed operation and silence are more important than the relevant investment.
Only the users who like to save everything or whose work specifics include a high volume of data, like, professional editing of photos and videos, large scale database systems, etc., should buy a disc above 1TB. For an average user a 1TB disc is "more than enough"
Besides the volume it is also necessary to select the speed of the disc. It is determined by the index of rotations per minute (rpm) and the cache memory. A 1000rpm disc will be faster than 7200rpm (and also more noisy in operation). At the same rotation index a disc with 64MB cache memory will be faster than a disc with 32MB cache memory, etc.
The disc parameters can be improved by purchasing additional disc and the number depends on the 3.5" HDD niches of the housing and the capacity of the power supply unit (an average HDD consumes approximately 25W power supply.)
The type of the connection slot SATAII and SATAIII are not very important as these are mutually compatible standards and (in case of HDDs) are not very important for the high-speed of data transmission.
When the operating system is divided from the data the OS and the software usually is places on a smaller size and higher speed disc. A high volume disc with a lower rpm index is devoted for the data as this solution ensures a higher safety of the data thanks to lower rotation speed and operating temperature. However, the discs should be located at a sufficient distance from each other, because in the contrary case they should be cooled with a ventilator.
If the selected motherboard does not provide the RAID data array it is worth considering the purchase of another disc due to two possible types of application:
RAID 0, or STRIPE is a data array capable of increasing the data reading/ writing speed considerably on the account of serial using of both discs (and data stability). If this connection is used a double risk has to be assumed - if one disc fails the total data array no longer operates and the data are lost. The discs of an identical model and manufacturer are used for this type of data array.
RAID 1, or MIRROR data array consists of two similar discs to which all the data are copied simultaneously and identically, thus ensuring the safety of the data against the damage of one disc. For this type of data array it is desirable to choose each disc of a different manufacturer or closely similar model due to the fact that in case of a manufacturing defect the discs of the same type can have the same defect increasing the risk of losing the data.
Besides the above referred RAID types there are also combined RAID 5 and RAID 6 which ensure the data safety and the increase of the operation speed at the same time, however, these data arrays require 3 and more discs accordingly as well as a specialized controller. You should inquire about the possibilities of setting up a computer with RAID 5, 6 data arrays by contacting our managers at

For an average home or small office user without any specific requirements we recommend to buy the Windows 7 English 64bit version.
You should choose the 32bit software only in the case when you plan to use the software that has known compatibility problems with the 64bit operating system or devices that do not have 64bit drivers. However, most of the 32bit software can operate within the 64bit operating system.
All the computers and components offered by Dateks provide full support of the 64bit operating system, therefore we recommend this choice because of the fact that the support of the RAM above 3 GB is possible only in 64bit mode and this type of operating systems is gradually becoming the leading standard and it is inevitable that it will fully replace the 32bit systems in future.
When you buy an operating system you should choose carefully the language of the user interface as it will not be possible to change this language later (except the Ultimate version which is multilingual). We offer English, Latvian and Russian interface languages of the operating system.
Entrepreneurs are entitled to use all the operating systems offered by
Windows Ultimate offers additional BitLocker data encoding application and a possibilities to switch over between the user's interface languages without changing the license.
For those preferring 3D games we recommend to pay attention to the panel response time. The lower this index the better. 2ms is considered the best index.
Those working with photo and graphics tasks as amateurs or professionals should pay attention to the matrix type. We recommend VA and IPS type matrix due to higher colour compliance indices.
We recommend to select a monitor with DVI or HDMI connection ports that use the digital transmission principle ensuring stable image quality.
