The build. (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Reiz)
It's not a top-of-the-line build, but comparing it to the fastest computer I've had yet (AMD Radeon 6450HD and AMD Athlon II), it would be an amazing upgrade in terms of speed for gaming and video rendering. My question is, is there any way to improve on this build or is it all good? Or even cheapen it. $2k is a lot of money, and if I can I'd like to get more performance out of the money, as I want this thing to last a good while with decent upgradibility.
This thing still needs to be able to achieve mild overclocks, be decently quiet (quiet enough to not cause issues when recording with a microphone near it), not be a power-monster, and be adqueatley cooled with some roomhead for "mild overclocks". Any suggestions? Even if they're mean, as a newb I've gotta learn somehow.
