Here's a link to the PCPartPicker for my computer: Link
That is my current setup and I want to upgrade it. I do a lot of recording videogames and rendering them for YouTube, so I need a couple of things.
Motherboard I don't know much about motherboards, so anything really that isn't too expensive and is normal ATX size, also will be able to fit my GPU without blocking the SATA ports. Also, having it work with my current CPU and RAM.
Case Obviously, with a larger motherboard, I need a larger case. So I was thinking of something like a Corsair 200R or an Antec Three Hundred. If you have any better suggestions, mention them. Try to keep it in that price range. Also, a case that could have atleast 2 HDDs and 1 SSD, in case I need more storage.
SSD I've heard raves about having an SSD, so I was thinking about getting one. Could I just move my OS to the SSD, or do I have to reinstall it. Also, I heard because it takes so long to render a video from Sony Vegas is because it has to read and write on the same drive, taking more time. So, with a 64Gb SSD, could I have the raw footage on the SSD and then render it to my normal HDD, save time?
I hope that was clear enough, if you need me to clarify anything, just ask. Also, I heard it would be good to get a CPU cooler. Mine idle's at 64 degrees with the stock heatsink. Should I upgrade for a new one?
Thanks for the help!
