hi ..
I would like to have suggestions for building a performance Desktop PC on a tight budget that'll be used for the sole purpose Video & Image Editing.(It wont be used for 3-D rendering or previewing & the video in will generally be from dv) my tight budgets around 1500$ +/- $100
I would like to hear an approximate for cost estimation as well
I dont mind AMD or P4 as long as it performs and doesnt melt my mobo during long hours of rendering without having to spend a signifanct amt on cooling .
these r my ideas
-----------------
Pentium D 830 - 3.0GHz \ AMD Athlon 64 X2 1MB 3800+
GigaByte GA-8I945G Pro \ MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
MSI GeForce NX6600-TD256E
DDR2 1GB x 2 PC4200
Sony DRU-800A
Samsung DVD CDRW
120GB SATA II WD [ive a stock of SATA I Drive upto 600GB]
500W PSU
Canopus ADVC110
Im not sure abt the dual core comparisons betn these 2 models of CPU's .. but then again im not sure of the performance upgrade of dual cores either .. is there another cpu solution reaching almost the same or more performance with even a lower priced cpu? (itd be gr8 if someone cud tell me which single core cpu[single thread app] nearly beats the dualcore[multi-thread app] & is much cheaper)
do give me pointers on what i should look out for coz ive no idea of the performances / heat issues / driver issues or any other problems with the hardware(cpu,mobo,gfx,drives ..etc) i think is possibly ok .. i wanted to make a no-nonsense system ..
frankly speaking im really confused after the live stress testing of Intel & AMD .. & mixed reactions abt video encoding ..
do help me out ..
