Hi,
Wanting to build a PC for Photo and Video editing, and watching DVDs (no gaming).
So far I've listed following specs:
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz LGA775
- Motherboard: Gigabyte (GA-965P-DS3 PRO) ATX LGA775
- RAM: Corsair (Twin2x2048-6400C4) 2 x 1GB DDR2-800, unbuffered, 4-4-4-12
- Video Card: Albatron 7600GT 256MB DDR3-PCIE
- HDD: RAID 0. 2 x Western Digital (WD3200YS) Caviar Hard Disk Drive 320GB, 7200RPM *16MB RAID EDITION cache, - SATA-300 (SATA-2)
- Display: Dell 2007WFP 20" UltraSharp Wide Screen Flat Panel LCD Monitor
- Case: Not sure yet. I want something plain and simple, with good air flow
- Power supply: Not sure yet. Enough to supply power to the above components
Obviously I'd like to spend as less money as possible.
--> Would you recommend any additions or replace any over-kill components? (I am not planning to overclock this system.)
--> Any latest on Intel's price cuts? (I am planning to get this at the end of July/early August.)
I'd really appreciate any comments from Photoshop and Video editing users, re: Photoshop scratch disk, OS page files on RAID, or is WD Raptor better, etc.
Thanks.
