Approximate Purchase Date: Will order parts within 2 weeks for new build.
Budget Range: $1,500 After Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: MS Office, Web Development, Video Encoding with Premier Pro and Vegas. System is for business use only.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, monitor, mouse and full tower case(ATCS 840). I also have a Corsair X128 SSD on a shelf I will use for the boot drive. SSD is 2009 SATA 2 edition, but still a great boot drive and place for Adobe and essential programs.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, Tiger and Frozen CPU
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: I prefer an intel system, like the reliability provided by CORSAIR and ASUS components generally.
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe (if beneficial for video encoding using CS 5(waiting for 6 to upgrade again))
Monitor Resolution: 2560x1600
Additional Comments: Prefer components to be quiet, no need for any bling, just looking for a system that I can get 3 solid years out of with an emphasis on speed in the encoding processes. Would like significant and reliable storage, Raid one on motherboard is nice.
