Just started a new build seeing as my computer is still running xp. I figured that I might as well build a WHOLE new computer so that I can just gift my old one to a family member.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 1 Week. Already purchased the items listed below.
BUDGET RANGE: $1500-1600
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:Video editing, World of Warcraft, HD Movies
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitors, Keyboard, Mouse
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, I've dealt with them in the past and I guess I'm a fanboy.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES:ATI, (want eyefinity support)
OVERCLOCKING: NO. I'm against overclocking because I like my system to last for years so I can gift the older computer to a family member.
MONITOR RESOLUTION:1920x1080 (3)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:No need for a sound card since I use a bose speaker system via usb.
Here's what I have so far.
Case
Corsair Obsidian Series 700D CC700D Black Case
PSU
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W Power Supply
SSD (OS and NEC Programs only)
Intel X25-M Mainstream SSD
CPU Cooling
CORSAIR Cooling Hydro Series CWCH50
BLU-RAY Burner
LG WH10LS30K 10X Blu-ray Burner
DVD Burner
ASUS Black DvD Burner
OS
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
This means ive got around 600 to spend on these items.
I don't use my computer for graphics intensive games ever. I mainly use it for the daily world of warcraft grind and video editing. The main reason I'm doing this upgrade is we just recently purchased a Vixia HF S20 hd camera and I want to be able to render HD video without much trouble. I also want to be able to use ATI's new eyefinity since I currently have 3 monitors and would like the use of one full screen instead of having them extended separately.
When I say video editing I mean recording performances and editing for distribution to 100+ people. I've had instances where I needed to edit/render a video overnight and I want to be able to have more time to edit and not worry so much about the time to render.
So any recommendations on an ATI graphics card w/ Eyefinity a Cpu/Mobo combo and ram to back up the 720-1080p rendering.
