New C2D Editing Rig

Hey I just bought these components for my first custom build. I plan to be editing video on Avid liquid and Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Does anyone see a problem with anything? I still have time to change my order so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have the e6600, with your MB, the TT Tsunami dream case and a x1900xtx.

Your video card is double what you need for a 19" monitor.

The soprano case may be tight with your listed components, which heat sink are you using?

I have your drives, and similar components, be sure you use the bios flash to update, my system is now stable after this weeks new bios.

1. Get a 6600 - then overclock to 6700 speeds for free!

2. Get 2gb now, then another 2gb when Vista comes out.

3. You don't need to spend that much on a graphics card.

4. Get a bigger monitor

granite3: The reason I got this graphics card is because I'm going to be editing on avid liquid, their software is very GPU demanding and they recommended a 512MB card. Is there something else that you could recommend?? My friend was suggesting that I buy a Radian heatsink, I have no idea what brands are good for this though.

MesaRectifier: I was looking at the overclocking ability of the 6600 but i'm a total noob with building computers so i didn't want to destroy my processor. I will be upgrading to vista when it comes out, will my current ram be fastenough?

Thanks for the help!!!!

i agree, but you can oc e6600 well over e6800 stock speed 8)
That's the beauty of C2D

yes, it is. It's just that with 64bit vista you can take advantage of and run 4gb

Tch! There's 2 good amps Marshall ever produced and they're f* expensive. And not as good as anything you get when you buy a Boogie.
