Hello,
I haven't build a PC since '07, and I am pretty darned rusty, all things considered. All the same, after doing a fair bit of research I've come up with a build that, to me, seems alright. I live in Canada, so keep that in mind when looking at the merchants I've selected, et cetera.
I will be using this rig for editing and coloring high-bitrate 1080p footage (or, conversely, 2k and 4k footage for 1080p output). Very little, if any, gaming will happen on this PC.
Some burning questions: Do I need to get any extra fans/separate cooling? I do not plan on overclocking. Since my case is from '07, will there be any big compatability issues there? Is the GTX 980 worth the money, or should I get a 970 and use the extra cash elsewhere? Is it possible to connect ESATA to this thing?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
This would all go into my Coolermaster Centurion 5 tower (http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/centurion-5/) that I have already, with my pre-existing 750w power supply.
