Hello experts, I'm purchasing parts to build (first build) myself a computer to edit HD video (avchd). This computer is not for gaming, but for Premiere Pro and Photoshop. Would love to hear from any pros out there editing video.
SO FAR I HAVE
1) i7 920
2) Antec P183
3) 2 hard drives, 1tb
4) HP HP elite wireless keyboard
5) MS wireless Arc mouse
6) PCI card IEEE 1394-A, 3-external port firewire card
7) Antec TP550 I'm only going to run 2 internal HD and I will use external eSATA HD and external IEEE 1394 HD
8) CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB Model TR3X6G1600C8D 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
I STILL NEED TO PURCHASE
9) I can't decide on the Asus P6T Deluxe v2 or the Asus P6X58D Premium. For only 10.00 more the P6X58D Premium sounds like a good investment for future added upgrades. Please advise
10) I can't decide which would video card is better for avchd video editing, Nvidia Quadro FX 580 512MB or the Nvidia GeForce GTX 275. FYI,. I would like to use a large 16:9 LCD monitor 24"-27" I can't decide between the LG 24" or the Samsung 27" Does a large monitor require a more powerful video card? Will these card choice work for that size monitor? Please advise.
11) And maybe a cooler for the i7,. please advise
I know in the future I will need to add more RAM and perhaps a SSD but for now I just need to get a computer up and editting for now. btw, for now I would prefer not OC, at least not until I'm more comfortable. Am I forgetting anything?
