Hi,
I'm building my first diy computer and would like some feedback. A couple of my friends have steered me in the right general direction and my current build is a good reflection of what I'm looking for. I could use some help though figuring out if I have the most efficient set of parts. So here's what I've got -
IDEAL PRICE RANGE:
$1600-$2,000
PRIMARY USES:
Audio recording with Avid ProTools 10
Video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Windows 7 Pro
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS:
1. Can't decide which mobo to go with (I have two in this wishlist). Definitely need firewire though.
2. Is sound card worth it? My prime focus is music. Not sure if sound card is necessary
though.
3. I heard it helps to have OS on SSD and have the rest on a regular hard drive. For the price increase, would I notice THAT much of a difference versus my current setup of just one 2TB hd?
4. Did I forget to include any vital parts in this list?
OTHER INFO:
-> I'm looking to buy this week
-> I only intend on doing 'factory' overclocking - whatever the 'turbo' speed is
-> I don't need a monitor
THE HARDWARE LIST:

Thank you!
