ok. this is the issue. my pc died.
I want to build one and I have researched a lot and now I'm just confussed. What i do is video editing. I play games every once in a while but that is not the main purpose.
I edit short and feature films. I want to be able to have a pc that I dont have to upgrade for a while (i would upgrade the graphics card) and that is not freezing all the time because it cannot handle massive aamounts of video. I use the whole adobe suite (a lot of after effects), avid and combustion.
I had decided I was going to go for an i7 (920), which means getting new mobo, ddr3, power supply and maybe cooling system. But then I read this:
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2009/06/03/intel-answers-the-future-of-core-i7-920/1
and now I'm just confused.
Should I go for AMD or Intel?
c2q? c2d? i7?
ddr2 or 3?
PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ASAP. I know people have asked questions like this 1000 times but I really need some good experience.
