Ok here’s the deal I’ve been asked to build a purpose build PC, I have 2k to spend without the monitor and I’ve been out of building scene for a few years so I need some help. The computer will be used to make and edit videos so I need to get a good setup, I will be buying all of the components online (pricewatch hore alert) and putting it together myself and just need some help in picking a killer setup.
So far here is what I was thinking
CPU
core 2 duo e6600 2.4ghz or Pentium d 950 dual core or Pentium 4 3.8ghz (also open to AMD but I’ve never had one)
Video card
radeon x800 pro agp 256mb
RAM
Enet 2GB DDR2 533MHz PC4300
So far am I on the right page? And as far as the CPU whats going to be better a duo or the 3.8Ghz chip? Also what kind of a motherboard do I want to get is MSI still one of the leaders or have things changed? Do you think this will get the job done?
