I have a lot of video and HD camera recording more than 1TB with a lot of deferent format and I need to change all of them to MP4 with the same quality so I can play them on my Xbox 360 (I'm using it as media server)

I need to create fast video converting PC with AMD processor
What is your recommendation?
What types of hard ware I must purchase ? (CPU,motherbord,...others)
 


Up to 1500 USD

For motherboard, CPU, and graphics cards
 
Well do you want high end graphics cards for gaming? Because if you didn't then thats a massive budget so you would have to go with intel to use it all up.

So are you looking to spend $500+ on graphics?
 
Final fantasy 14 online on the way , so I will use it for that game only because I have XBOX 360 for games



What do you think with:

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor

Asus M4A79T DELUXE Socket AM3/ AMD 790FX/ Quad CrossFireX/ A&GbE/ ATX Motherboard

Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 2 GB DDR5 HEXAD MINI DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100290SR

I got them from Amazon if you have better cheap website please assist me

thank you in advance ^^
 
I'd recommend newegg.com for cheap prices.

You have to get a motherboard which supports the X6 out of the box these are marked like 890FX, although make sure it says that it supports X6 as I'm not sure if all 890FX boards support it.

Don't get the 5870 2GB the 5870 1GB is for you, I'm not sure how much graphics power is needed for FF 14. However I am thinking that a 5870 will be overkill for it, a 5850 may suit you better. Although if your going to start PC gaming (as you should, since the 360 is FAIL compared to your build) then you could go for a 5870.

Also don't get such a high end motherboard, that board supports Quad XFire which is certainly not needed. Find the cheapest motherboard which has the things you need and is a good brand.

Hope that helps.

[EDIT]
Forgot to add that if you have a older CPU you can easily flash the BIOS on older boards. So then you can use a board such as a 790FX.
 

I assume you are not into high end gaming.
