I decided to build a new system primarily for video editing.
I will use the on board video for now, and upgrade later.
Please take a look and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.
Thx Thx
I used to buy cheaper Coolermaster cases like that one. Every single one of them, without exception, had minor quality control issues (most commonly, many untapped screw holes). All could be used, but I switched to the very similar cheap Rosewill cases. None of them had any quality problems. They're also cheaper.
If your budget will allow, check out a 790GX board. The HD3300 IGP is a little better than the HD4200 on the 785G.
The Seasonic PSU you've selected is a nice one; no complaints. Another similar option would be an Antec Truepower New 550W PSU. It is 80+ bronze certified, and semi-modular, so you'd have fewer cables.
I couldn't sell a Logisys PSU at all, let alone for $30; not and keep a clear conscience. It would go straight to the garbage.
lol, one of my favorite humorous videos...
if you do swap out the hard drive and power supply for the cheaper models you have some spare cash to spend on upgrading the processor to a 545 callisto or perhaps a 550 be .
The psu you list is overkill unless you plan on fitting a top end gfx card for gaming , and the samsung hard drive is a very fast drive so its a reasonable idea to compromise in favor of a more powerful processor
And the coolermaster case is fine . It might struggle with cooling a top end processor and a pair of gfx cards but for your system its a very decent case
