Please help with first time build

[robkornert]

So heres what I plan on purchasing tonight when I get home from school. Everything here has pretty good reviews from newegg.com. I am on a tight budget, fairly close to what I have it at now. I will primarly use it for a media center/watching movies and video editing on a 50" 1080i toshiba DLP. the GPU was recomended because of this. I do very little gaming, and if i do its not the newest most demanding games. I am gonna purchase the case at a local store, its a little more, but no shipping charges. I have not decided on a blu-ray or just a dvd drive yet.
p.s. I have used some suggestions from here, and have been looking into this for a few weeks now

SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME/NEEDED

If you can upgrade to Phenom 9850 do it.

It would cost you an extra $50 but it's worth it IMO. The MB will support it:

If you have to, cut the HDD to WD6401AALS to save some money for the CPU upgrade. It's easier and cheaper to add a second HDD later than to upgrade the CPU.

 

[co30cl]

Is there a specific reason you went with a quad-core? I'm thinking maybe go with a 3GHz dual-core and for $30 less even.

 

[xthekidx]

For video editing and such a quad is the way to go. I agree with aevm get the best processor you can afford to get, it will be worth it for what you do.

I would suggest this mobo & CPU combo. Get the video card later.
