I need to build a new computer for latest games but also for my work (video editing/encoding + 3D software...)
Approximate Purchase Date: With in the next 3 weeks
Budget : 1700 $ MAX
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, video editing, 3D application...
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website for Parts: msy.com.au (because I am in Australia) newegg.com
I already decided the CPU : i7 2600K (as I understood, this is the best choice for video editing without spending too much money for a 3960K...)
GPU : 580GTX / 7970 ! ?
Ventirad : Noctua NH-U12P-SE2 ? (I don;t plan on overclocking my cpu hardcore style ! just a bit... But my bedroom is quite hot during summer)
SSD : 120 Go but no idea what model... OCZ Vertex 3 or Patriot Wildfire or any other good model.
HDD : Any 1 To with a good reputation/reviews
Ram : 8 Go, 16 Go ?
Mobo : No idea... (i do not plan on doing a SLI later...)
PSU : ?
Case : NZXT H2 ? Because it is silencious but i'm worried about temperature (as I said, it can be very hot in my bedroom during the afternoon...)
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No / never
Monitor Resolution: probably a Dell U2412M 1920 x 1200 (not included in the 1700 $ budget.)
Additional Comments: I would prefer a quiet PC and and good cooling system (not watercooling) as my bedroom can be very hot !
