I'm going to be building a new PC this year, primarily for video editing.
I've always watched friends design and build PCs, but have never done my own build. I'd consider myself pretty good with computers, but want to consult your guys' incredible knowledgebase before dropping $1000+
As for this thing's uses, I'll be primarily running Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6, as well as moderate usage of the rest of the CS6 suite, plus light uses of other randoms like Cinema 4D, Pro Tools, etc. Editing will mainly consist of Canon DSLR footage, but really a mixture of everything, from GoPro to RED.
What I have lined up right now is:
Intel Core i7-3770K
MSI Z77A-GD80 ATX LGA1155 Mobo
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 2.5GB GPU
Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Sandisk Extreme 240GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM HD
Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V / EPS12V PSU
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
NZXT Tempest 210 ATX Mid Tower Case
I'm pretty tired of waiting on laggy computers, so I'm ready to go hard, so let me know if something looks to be severely bottlenecking stuff. On the other hand, if something is just way too overkill for the system, I am still a student, so I'd also like to avoid throwing away money too haha.
I'd love to hear your opinions! Thanks.
