New 2010 Build, Help please !

[cr3at1on]

Hello, this is gonna be my first build.

My budget: I would like to spend 1000 On the computer itself, and then the remaining on a good monitor. So, about 1200-1300 ?

I dont know about the part prices, are they going up? down? I need this computer fast, so if anyone can help, please do so! Ill appreciate it alot !

What I am going to do:
Gaming
Video Editing
Graphic Design/Photoshop Work
Watch HD Movies

From the most important to the least: Graphic Design/Photoshop Work > Video Editing > Gaming > Watch HD Movies

I prefer Intel. I have no idea on what parts to choose, so can someone make a good build for this money and for those specifications and we can start from there?

I'll answer any questions so that you can get enough info for the build.

Thanks!

something like this might appeal to you:

CPU & MoBo Combo
HDD & PSU Combo
RAM
GPU
Optical
CPU Cooler
Chasis or another of your choosing.

I put this together with a combination of budget, power and looks in mind. It sounds like you want something that works and looks cool too.

This will leave you with 300 or so to play with for a monitor.

p.s if you pay shipping I'll build it for you

I was thinking of i7 since gaming isnt the most important, and also thinking on 6 GB. Is it possible to do a 1000-1100 rig with these ?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.519646 - i7 combo with the same motherbord but still 4 gb ram


or substitute one of the following combos for your mobo, cpu and ram to give you 6gb ram on the 1366 platform (only real difference is the ram)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.519447
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.519450

the total with one of these before tax, shipping and mail-in rebates would be 1K and change.

will the 550W Power Suply, support those combos? 6GB RAM, Intel Core i7 930, etc?

 

[cr3at1on]

Just a quick question, does newegg ship to europe? Namely Portugal? (Worldwide) ?

since you're not crossfiring, 550 would be fine.

Aren't there missing parts? And is there any way, of getting a ATI GPU? Better than that one?

 

[cr3at1on]

Could you give me a breef explanation of whats that crossfiring? And whats the advantages/disvantages? Is it affordable for my budget? Is it good for the work I will be doing? Ive heard the term but never understood it, the crossfiring 'nor the SLI thingy :S

 

[bejabbers]

Nope, that's the whole computer, minus an operating system, keyboard, mouse and monitor. (I'm assuming you already have those) (cpu, motherboard, memory, gpu, psu, hdd, optical, case and heatsink)
That is an ATI graphics card, it's just built by xfx. What this means is that the "meat and potatoes", so to speak, of the card are manufactured/developed by ati, but the card is built and sold through xfx (or another company such as sapphire who put on different coolers or do some minor tweaking).

Crossfire-x is when you use 2 video cards. What this does is it means that you have 2 cards doing the work of one. The advantage to this is that you get more power, not double, but more (depending on the card). The disadvantage is that it can get cramped inside your case and get pretty hot. At your budget range which the components you're looking for, crossfire won't fit.

Okey, So:

A friend told me that there is one 22' or 24' LCD Samsung Monitor, which is the one with the fastest response... ? :S

This would give you a slightly faster CPU, larger PSU, better GPU all for almost the same price.

As for your monitor question, the size of the screen is not related to it's response. Most monitors run at 5ms, but you can get as low as 2ms. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend. Typically a larger monitor costs more than a smaller one, and a monitor with a lower response time will cost more than one with a higher one. I personally like the Samsung BX2350 (23", 2ms, 1080p). Price would depend where you shop, should be between 2-300.

Wow, nice ! That looks like a pretty baddass rig ! Thanks mate
Just a few questions now, does newegg ship worldwide? Namely Portugal?

And this rig, would be about how much? 1100?

this would be just under 1100. unfortunately newegg only ships to the US (.com) or canada (.com). you'll have to find another retailer to ship there. i don't know of any off-hand, sorry.
