Thank you for that chart! That totally just changed my mind towards getting a 3770K instead. So the i7-3770K is the same thing as the i5-3570K except that it has hyper-threading on?
Do you know of a good benchmark list for video editing highlighting the difference between the 3570K and 3770K that I could understand? I'm hoping to do some video editing every day using HD footage but wouldn't have qualms about having a few seconds extra every time I render if it meant saving...
Oh okay thank gosh. You just alleviated a lot of my stress (I'm a first time builder and I'm pulling the trigger tonight). I did hear a bunch of positive things about going to the 3770K for video editing but should I sacrifice the 120GB SSD that I have (So I would only have 1 HDD) to generate...
I would also be using a GTX 670 while amateur video editing (using HD footage) on Adobe Premiere CS6. I was about to buy my build (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/uir7 if you're curious) but I just got the opinion on not buying the i5-3570k. It's currently late to make the change to an AMD counterpart...
Okay, I'll definitely take the Hyper 212 Evo instead then.
I'm still very stingy about the GPUs. Is that extra $70 worth it in your opinion in this budget build? Or should I take that $70 and invest in something else, like an SSD or something?
Just to clarify, I'd definitely be willing to spend...
Thanks for the recommendations!
CPU Cooler: I've heard that the one I chose is better than the 212 EVO and is more quiet. Are you sure it's better?
GPU: Sorry, but what's the difference (besides ~$50 har har har)?
Monitor: Thanks! Switched them out! Saved me like $40!

Intro: I'm buying a build today! I just want to make sure this build is cost-effective and if there's anything I can upgrade for a little bit more money! My max cap is $1100 and I'd like to play video games and do amateur video editing with HD footage. Any advice? And I'm afraid to pull the...
Thanks so much for the replies guys! And I'm sorry for not clarifying, I will be using Adobe Premiere CS5.5 or CS6
Unfortunately I don't have it in my budget (MAX = $1150) at the moment.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Adobe Premiere supports CUDA, but it's difficult to find information if it does. And...
Hello,
I'm currently in the process of building a computer and buying the parts on 12/26/12. Here's my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tLbW
Now, I'm wondering which of the three GPUs in the title I should go with if I will be playing high-end video games and video editing (about...
