My parents are going to buy me a computer in a few days. I need your guys' advice in this build of mine. I've read a lot and formulated a pretty nifty list, I just want to get the most bang per buck and most power efficient rig that I could get.
BUDGET: $1000-1200
USAGE: Sony Vegas pro 9 (currently not editing HD, but soon), learning Adobe Essentials CS4 (Premier, Aftereffects, Flash and stuff), Video recording (Fraps, Camtasia), and your normal word processing and net browsing.
I'm kinda typing in a rush right now, so I'm not going to add prices and links right now, I'll edit it later.
OVERCLOCK: No, I don't know how and Its hot in my place (Philippines)
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 or i5 750
MOBO: MSI CD53 P55 or Asus P755D LE (You guys can suggest ECS, Foxconn and other boards, though the foxconn is one I fear)
GPU: Powercolor 5750 512mb
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 1333mhz (2GBx2)
HDD: 1tb Western Digtal Green Power 64mb OR 1tb Seagate SATA 32mb
PSU: Corsair CMPSU 550 VX 550W
FAN: Coolermaster Hyper 212
MONITOR: AOC 2236VW LED 21" 1920x1080
So guys what is it good? As a student computer do you think I need this? Is this power efficient enough or watt guzzling?
I do not game a lot, only play old games (midnight club 2, warcraft 3, red alert 4, need for speed series)
Do you think I'd need the multithreading of i7 860 for my menial tasks?
Answer me please, quickly guys. I'm going to buy in a few days.
