Hey everyone, I am trying to put together a build that will be used for a lot of video editing and a bit of gaming. Ive been having some trouble with what to use and was looking for advice on a few things.
Approximate Purchase Date: End of March
Budget Range: $2000-$2500 Canadian
This is what i currently have planned out. I am open to any suggestions and they would be greatly appreciated.
Case:COOLER MASTER HAF X

(This processor is prety much what I am building around)
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (This processor is prety much what I am building around)

Motherboard:ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681313179
(still kind of undecided on the motherboard)
RAM:CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Graphics card: I plan to run a SLI set up not sure what to get tho. i was thinking dual EVGA GTX 580 or maby 590s
As you may have been able to see I'm still a bit undecided on some things which is why I am coming to you for help. my main concerns are my motherboard and my graphics cards. I'm hoping to slowly upgrade and add a graphics card or two further down the line if it will help to render quicker and make editing smoother and easier as well. I have thought about liquid cooling the system as well but don't quite know what parts would be good for doing that.
Hopefully i can get some help and finish this build completely within the next couple weeks, thanks.
