[EDIT: budget is actually $900, not $1000 sorry]
Hey
So this will be my first build ever. I'm pretty excited. I'm also pretty happy with the components listed at the bottom but, being a complete noob, I have no idea if they'll work together, or work for what I'm trying to do. Advice most welcome.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next two weeks
Budget Range: $1000 with shipping/tax (no monitor)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing, audio editing, maybe Portal.
Example software: Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Blender, Lightworks
Are you buying a monitor: No, I've already got this monitor.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, Windows 8.1 system builder looks fine
Preferred Websites for Parts: I'm an Amazon Prime member, so that's always cool. Newegg works too.
Location: SeaTac, Washington state, USoA
Parts Preferences: Intel Core i7, a quiet case would be good for audio editing
Overclocking: Probably not
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (with planned second monitor, when I have monies)
Additional comments/questions:
- Do I need to do anything special to use a second monitor?
- I'm also planning to add another 8GB stick of RAM later on
- Recommendation for basic graphics card for video editing? (VE software rarely makes use of it, but maybe for Portal and occasional 3D modelling)
Why Are You Upgrading: Video editing on a 15" laptop sucks, need something awesome.
Current part list:
