Approximate Purchase Date: 10/1/14 (ASAP)

Budget Range: $850 Final Price.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: to be used for Adobe CS6 Prod. Pre Bundle and CC.

Are you buying a monitor: No, using 2 Asus PB238's

Parts to Upgrade: CPU, MB, RAM, GPU, Case.

Do you need to buy OS: No, Using Win 7 Pro 64

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, Newegg, Microcenter

Location: Lino Lakes, MN 55014

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU

Overclocking: I don't care, if deemed necessary.

SLI or Crossfire: I don't care, if deemed necessary.

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 x2 (3840x1080)

Additional Comments:
Using: Adobe CS6 Production Premium & Adobe CC (prelude, premiere, after effects, audition, media encoder, speed grade, bridge, photoshop)
This also includes RAW video capture VIA Blackmagic capture devices.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I am building a mini ITX for Adobe video editing. This includes ingesting, cutting, editing (including AE), and rendering. If there is a better option than mini-ITX let me know. For the most part the computer will stay at my dorm but there will be cases where I need to move it to locations for production so portability is semi-important.
