How's it going guys
So here it is, first time building a computer and I'm getting very excited but at the same time it's somewhat intimidating. You always want to get the best parts for your money and the best possible set up based on what you're going to be using it for. I've heard great things about this website and all the great input you fine folks provide and share with noobs like myself. I'm self taught and have replaced cd/dvd burners, power supply units, installed operating systems... With that said - I'm ready for the next step and build my own system.
So I need your help. All input is much much appreciated
Approximate Purchase Date: month to month and a half
Budget Range: $600- $650
System Usage from Most to Least important: tons of video editing/rendering, gaming, streaming live online, watching movies and the usual online surfing and some photoshop
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitors and operating system (already own windows 7 ultimate 64bit)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference - cheapest and most reliable
Country: U.S.A.
Parts Preferences: open to both AMD or Intel set up (looking for best bang for the buck), mid-tower or full tower case
Overclocking: not familiar with this, open to either or
SLI or Crossfire: not familiar with this either, open to either or
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: would like to have dual monitor set up, really looking for quick rendering times when it comes to producing videos, and would like to throw any game with high/max settings. Thank you guys for all your help and time, as I stated early - trying to look for the best bang for the buck.
Here's what I have in mind:
CPU: intel core i5/ amd quad core
GPU: radeon hd 6870
RAM: 8gb
HDD: 500gb (the more the better)
OD: any for budget
case: would like one with usb 3.0 but only if within budget
mobo: would like one with usb 3.0 but only if within budget
PSU: 550w
What do you think?
