Hello this will be my first custom build...need some help with the right components please
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: JUNE/JULY 2010
BUDGET RANGE: $1600 on tower maybe 2k would not be able to go any higher than that though
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Video Editing(Amateur/Home Use) Sony Vegas and Photoshop/Win7 Cinerlella/Linux, Audio Production(Amateur/Home Use) Probably FL Studio, Gaming and Virtual Machines
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Just need internal tower components and case, Already have OS and have a DVD/CD burner
OS Used: Will be dual booting Win7/Linux
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: US Newegg open to other suggestions of course
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU, Full Tower Case with lots of cooling
OVERCLOCKING: Probably
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Noise isnt a huge issue as my Audio Production would not require any live recording, but I dont want something that sounds like a jet either. Mainly just need an all around workhorse. Looking for something "Upgradable" though I understand that is limited.
Some things ive been looking at so far please let me know if im overkilling it or if I need to look for something better...thanks in advance
MB-ASUS P6X58D Premium http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131614 but open to suggestions
CPU- Core i7-930 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115225 - I can get this for 199.00 at a local shop (microcenter) its on sale this month and hard to pass up so Im probably going with this chip for sure, and Ill probably be overclocking this
Memory-Mushkin Enhanced Redline 6GB (3 x 2GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226121
HFC- Will need a better cooler than stock cause I plan to try and overclock the 930 to around 3.6-3.8ghz.
GPU-Open to suggestions based on my needs
HD- Might want an SSD for OS and apps but with their prices that might have to be purchased as an upgrade at a later date, and then also some 1TB for storage
Power Supply-Open to suggestions, i hear Corsair is probably best
Case- Open to suggestions, can be big and would actually prefer a large full tower, needs to have a good airflow though
Optical- I would like a BLU-RAY burner if it fits in budget
and anything else I might have missed need... Thanks
