APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Hopefully within the next month or so
BUDGET RANGE: I'd like to keep it around $1000, but am willing to go up to $1500ish if necessary
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: HD Video Editing/Converting/Encoding/Re-encoding/etc; some audio editing, Photoshop work, and pretty much anything else you can imagine, except gaming, I do my gaming on PS3.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Monitor
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com, or any other if they're reputable and and the price is right.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel processor
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: N/A, although eventually I'm looking to go with Dual 22" monitors, so if the price is right, I'd consider them now. At least 1680 x 1050 resolution if so.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is a build I threw together while at work today. I didn't do much in the way of price comparison, etc. So I'm definitely open to suggestions. I know I'm over budget with this build, but I really want to make sure this thing can handle what I throw at it. I have the Quadro card simply because at some point I might purchase some Avid software, and they require it. I've got a Pentium D system now and to re-encode video captured with my recently purchased Hauppauge HD PVR, it's taken almost 24 hours for a little over two hours of video, which needless to say won't cut it.
I realize that I created another post a couple of days ago, but that was for a DIY PC combo from Newegg that I simply wanted opinions on. Any and all suggestions welcome.
Without further ado, here's my build:
