Uh can i have some more proposals pls
I wanna give more attention(and Money) in CPU/MOBO/RAM/GRAPHIC CARD.
Thanks

You probably did not get more proposals because Proximon's was perfect - he is an expert and crafted you what may be the best possible system given your parameters - I could think of nothing better to offer.

Now are you saying you can increase the budget a little? How much?

And what do you want to emphasize? The system as specified will probably give you all yo can hope for even with a higher budget relative to Photoshop and Illustrator. If you want to improve performance with Premier you need a faster CPU - the rest of the system is fine. If you want better gaming - you just need a faster graphics card - the rest of the sysem is fine. People can find as fast a graphics card as you have budget to allow - so that is the key. Any money spent here will be reflected in significant improvement. To get an idea of what you can buy - you might look at the THG Graphics Card Selections by Budget level - starting with the 4670 recommended which is on the list - and go up from there. Here is that link:

You can take cards of that list - seeing how much more each will cost - and go to the Performance Charts to see how many FPS each step up buys you in different games:

Below is a link to a list I prepared with selections from the Performance Charts that allows you to look at the next three steps up from the review article linked above.

Note that the approximate prices for the cards on the list are:
4670 $65
9600 GT $80
4850 $100
4870 $125

Also note that most stats are given in FPS - frames per second. 30 FPS is considered playable. Anything over 50 to 60 FPS you won't notice so it makes no difference to game play, although obviously provides some room for growth as games require faster cards over time.

If you want to go higher than that you can build your own chart off the master:

Note that the 4670 is almost at the bottom of the list - because this is the list for high quality cards. There is another list for slower "mainstream" cards.

So how much more do you want to spend? On what - cpu or graphics cards? If on graphics cards, which chipset do you want?
