Approximate Purchase Date: by the end of summer
Budget Range: appx. 1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Rendering video in 1080p in Premiere, Editing (and rendering/previewing) footage in premiere's timeline, After Effects Rendering, Gaming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers. I've got a 600w coolermaster RP-600-PCAR that if can be used would be great, but it's been four years since I built the PC i'm using now so I'm slightly out of the loop regarding current power needs. I've also got a 20'' samsung 206BW monitor that runs at 1680x1050, but I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of a new monitor that runs at 1920.(e.g.: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg & mwave
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: definitely an evga fan when it comes to graphics cards, and I know asus used to be the it brand for mobo's but it seems they may be falling out of prevalance. definitely an intel cpu though.
Overclocking: maybe
SLI or Crossfire: sli
Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050 currently, but not opposed to getting a new 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 monitor
Additional Comments: Not really sure about cases yet, i've been looking around, and I must say that the obsidian 650d is damn sexy. i got a gamer case for my last build and i would just like something sleeker this time around, although that may come at a price for cooling.
I've been looking at the 2600k i7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070&Tpk=i7-2600k for a processor, as I know A LOT of the rendering process of video is done by the CPU. So this is not something that I would want to slack on. RAM is also a big deal, as video previews are done through a large utilization of RAM, so I was thinking 4-6 gb min depending on the mobo. I also want to be able to play the latest games smoothly, so I was thinking of a card like the GTX 480, and possibly SLi it in the future.
Thanks in advance for the help.
