DarkSable :

yes , sorry my mistake

Just throwing out there,

1) $2300 is WAY too much for a video editing computer, especially AMD.

2) If you are spending that much money, then AMD doesn't stand a chance; they don't have ANYTHING to compete with the high-end intel chips.

Hi Dark Sable...I am a newbie and prepping for my first build...I'd like to build the system you have specked here. I have bought pieces as they go on sale and would like to wrap up the parts purchase. So far I have have the case, cooler, memory, power supply and hard drives.
My question is that it being a year since you created this list, as I purchase the remaining parts, are there any updates to what you would recommend I purchase for what is left?? If I stick to this list am I still good to go or are there better versions that are more effective?

Thanks for your help!!
