Hey Guys,
This is my first Build. I'm fairly confident that I won't have any trouble. Just want some advice about my Choices. The main part I'm not sure of, is the Cpu. Mainly, Weather or not a Dual Core would make much difference for me. I want a decent step up from my Current system(which will be going to an Office for business use). I will be taking the Sound Card, TV Tuner, Ram, & 80gb HD over to new system.
Here's my current system;
-P4 2.4C
-Asus P4P800 Deluxe
-1gb(2X512) Kingston Value DDR400
-Ati Radeon 9800 Pro Agp
-Seagate Barracuda ATA100 80gb 8mb cache
-Seagate Barracuda ATA100 40gb 2mb cache
-ATI Tv Wonder Pro PCI
-M-Audio Delta 1010 Sound Card for Audio Recording
-Uneec 330w PSU
-Generic Case
I do some Video Editing with Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects. And I'm getting into Photoshop as well. And I also do Audio Recording/Editing with Cubase SX3. Other than that, it's mostly Casual PC Use, with Some Gaming(Not Too important). I Will be doing some Mild Over-Clocking.
Here's what I'm concidering from Newegg;
CPU
-AMD 64 3700+ or X2 3800+ Dual Core
RAM
-1gb More of Kingston Value for Dual Channel(4X512 Total)
MOTHERBOARD
-Epox 9NPA+Ultra
VIDEO CARD
-Sapphire GTO2 or EVG 6800gs N389
CDR/DVDR
-NEC 3550a Dual Layer
HARD DRIVE
-WD 160gb Sata2 Caviar SE
PSU
-FSP Fortron AX400
MONITOR
-Vision V1721b 17" LCD
CASE
-RaidMax X1 Case
Comes to about $1,100 total. I live in NJ, so Tax from Newegg applies.
How does everything look? Should I go Dual Core X2 3800 for what I want to do? Or just stay with a 64 3700?
Thanks guys. Any help would be appreciated.
