Hey guys, through all my research for this build I have found your forum again and again, so I decided to just ask you for advice myself!
First custom PC for me, and I plan on having it built for me because of this.
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP (As soon as I am confident of my/your choices)
Budget Range: $1100 or lower
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Editing 1080p video using Adobe. Semi-professional. Rendering speed important.
Parts Not Required: Already have two Samsung 1080p monitors with DVI and HDMI. Don't need to worry about speakers, mouse or keyboard either.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: None
Country of Origin: I am in the US
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200)
Additional Comments: I don't know what I am doing, so all this is a learning experience for me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current build:
CPU: Intel core i5 2500k
Cooling: Coolermaster V6 (6 copper pipes)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Z68 (onboard video, DVI and HDMI, SLI and X-Fire, SATA3, USB 3.0, etc.)
RAM: 8GB (4x2GB) PC8500 DDR3 1066 Dual Channel
Video: Unknown... Whatever works here and is cheapest
HD: Don't really care here. I have a couple 2.5TB Western Digital Externals so storage is not an issue
Case: PowMax Black Mid TowerATX case with front USB (is this compatible?)
Power Supply: Corsair 750W ultra quiet ATX power supply, SLI and X-fire ready
OS: Whatever Windows version works best. 7 Home Premium 64bit?
------------------------------
That's all I have so far. Thanks very much in advance for any help!
