It's going to be used for converting Blu-ray DVD's to digital format, which I believe is video rendering? Anyways, I'm not sure where to start on the parts and could use a good starting point. It will be for gaming on 1440p (at whatever quality really), high end video rendering (so good CPU/GPU?), liquid cooling if needed, SSD/HDD combo, and I need the best of the best sound card. I'd be willing to reduce the power of CPU/GPU for a better sound card, just to show you how important the sound card has to be. I don't want to limit anything with a low price range, but the lower the better, without sacrificing quality/performance of course.
