APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: This week, possibly today BUDGET RANGE: $500 or less
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: HD video editing with Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, music, movies, internet, gaming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, mouse, OS, monitor, speakers, video card (I will either reuse my HD2600, or use integrated graphics)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I like Newegg a lot, but I'm open to any site that is reputable and has good prices. Also, there is a Micro Center near here; I know that they sometimes have good deals on things.
PARTS PREFERENCES: Quad-core CPU (most likely the Athlon X4 620), 8GB of DDR3, socket AM3 mobo with 4 RAM slots, and an integrated video chipset, and a large hard drive
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe (nothing too extreme; I want this machine to last) SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1280 x 1024
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: An eSATA port on the motherboard would be nice.
Here's what I've come up with; it totals $488 after rebates and shipping:
