New Build Set up (another set of eyes to look over)

[Andrew_178]

Hi all,
I've decided to build a new computer and I was hoping y'all could give it a look over, and see if I'm missing anything. Thanks in advance.

Approximate Purchase Date: next week or two

Budget Range: Trying to stay (decently) under $1000

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Photo editing, internet, video editing

Are you buying a monitor: No



Parts to Upgrade:almost all, but the case

Do you need to buy OS: Nope, Linux

Preferred Website(s) for Parts:Newegg (unless you know somewhere cheaper)

Location: City, State/Region, Country -Georgia, USA

Parts Preferences: whatever is the best quality

Overclocking: extremely doubtful

SLI or Crossfire: huh?

Your Monitor Resolution:I have two, that are decent (not near them right now to get the exact resolution)

Additional Comments: quiet would be nice, may do some light video editing, but mostly photo editing and the internet.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:I was about to run out of storage on the 2tb that I had and I realized that my old computer only has 4gb or ram and an old processor that was over 6 years old and not built for its current primary use.

The parts so far that I already have and will reuse
keyboard
mouse
two screens
dvd/cd burner
case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042

Thanks for looking it over, again, let me know what I'm missing, where I could go cheaper, where I shouldn't go cheaper etc.

I don't recommend going with any AMD FX cpu at this point. You would be replacing your 6 year old cpu with a 4 year old cpu. Go Intel all the way.

Thanks! that computer seems very comparable as price and even better for speed and such.

Anyone else have anything to add? or does the build Cturbo offered seem like a good linux build for photography?

Might be worth watching this?

What are you looking to do with your new pc? 32gb seems overkill unless you have something specific in mind.

@ Martin_38, this thread was solved back in August. Surely the OP has already bought all of the parts by now and does not plan on returning to this thread.

Lol good point, I didn't notice that
