Hello everyone,
I'm new here and this is my first post.
Approximate Purchase Date: Next month or so
Budget Range: 800-1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video Editing, Surfing the net, common use.
Parts Not Required:
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Which ever you think is best. I've used Intel in the past
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: no monitor yet
Additional Comments:
I am looking to build a new system with it's main focus to be video editing and would like to run the latest Adobe CS and possibly Sony Vegas.
I would also like to be able to go on the internet, do some gaming and any other casual computer tasks.
I don't know to much about computers and I was hoping I could get some pointers, advice, and possible computer builds to go with. I would also like a computer that I can upgrade so I can learn while my system grows for my needs. One of my fears is buying a computer for $1000 that doesn't perform well when I'm editing or doesn't have space to upgrade on.
For example I don't know;
If I should go with AMD or Intel
Which graphics card to go with, because I've heard that if you get a graphics card used for gaming it wont be that great for video editing.
Which computer brand is good or bad.
Which site I should by a computer from.
Thanks
Phil
