Approximate Purchase Date: this week or next week
Budget Range: $1800 (I could go $1900 if needed)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing (using Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Efects), Color grading (Davinci), I also plan to produce some music using Fruity Loops or Ableton and maybe I'll try to play a little bit with 3D or 4D. I also use Photoshop but I guess that won't really be a problem at all. And of course a little gaming from time to time (but only those classic games like Counter Strike and DotA2, but never a priority)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but I won't buy a calibrated monitor for now, a monitor that is good enough to fit in my budget is fine. A monitor that has a good price-performance value at least 21"
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any store with standard price, I live in the Philippines and we can acquire any parts available
Location: ASIA - our local stores doesn't really go with the promo prices so any standard pricing is ok
Parts Preferences:
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
I don't need to argue with this one, since this is a recommended CPU for video editing with a good price point
Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Personal preference for the aesthetic, I rly like the onboard audio as well. 10 SATA sounds like an overkill but not for video people like us. Will also stick with this one.
16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Still undecided with which brand to go but I'm looking at the Corsair Vengeance Pro for they will match my board and they have good reviews.
1 SSD and 1 internal hard drive of at least 2TB
SSD where I will install my OS and programs and a hard drive for my files, I will be working mostly with video files
A good sleek case like the Phantom 820 but of course that's kinda impossible (or possible?) for my budget but I want it to look professional but not flat.
Overclocking: Yes, but only on safe speeds for my CPU.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, but not now, in the near future. For now I need at least one dedicated GPU, I'm looking at the Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card, but still confused on how will that work out with my budget.
Your Monitor Resolution: Full HD 1080p for I'll be working with CANON HDSLR files, I plan to upgrade monitor if I also get a camera upgrade like the Blackmagic 2.5k
For now I want a stable system that I could run for at least 18-24 hours a day. I've been doing some research but I also get confused since I'm not really knowledgeable about computers.
I want a system that is future-proof and still ready for upgrade.
I really need help!
