Good Evening Everyone:

New Egg Wish List: https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=10558032
Total before MIR: 603.93
After MIR: 543.93
Quick Specs:
OCZ 500W PSU
XMS2 4GB Ram
Zalman 9700
EVGA 9800 GTX+
Gigabyte GA-EP43-DS3LR
E7400
Seagate Barracuda 250 GB 7200.10
Samsung DVD Burner 22X
System Goal: I would like to OC to 3.2 - 3.5 on air. I just built a q6600 system with similar components (8800GT, p35 DS3L being the other main differences.)
My main questions are:
- Do you think the C2D system will compete comparably when video editing on Adobe CS4?
- Are there any places to trim some more fat?
- Is it worth going to an AMD based system? Since I own the q6600 as my home system and this sytem will only see 5 months of use a year I figure redundancy is better in case of a failure in my main system.
Also, I'm not on the up and up on PSUs. Will my older reusable 350w Antec PSU run all these toys? I think not but I figured its worth asking. If not, will the PSU I selected be reliable?
I will be editing SD Video Running Premier CS4, DVDSanta, Adobe Media Encoder, and editing while DVDs are encoding or burning.
Thanks for the input in advance,
David
