Hi,
Its been a long time since I built a new system so I'd appreciate it if you could cast your eyes over my planned build and give any advice. Im building this system mainly to edit/encode HD video with Sony Vegas, work on several large photoshop files simultaneously, browse with large number of open tabs. And to have multiple programs running at once without grinding to a halt like this laptop does! Oh and not forgetting to play Diablo III which this laptop doesn't.
Case - Corsair Carbide 500R (£90)
PSU - OCZ Modstream 600W (£50)
CPU - i7 3770k (£220)
Cooler - Antec Kuhler H20 920 (£65)
GPU - Radeon HD7850 2Gb (£160)
RAM - 16Gb Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz Grey (£65)
Mobo - Asus P8Z77-V LX (£85) or is the PRO version worth the extra £15?
HDD - OCZ Vertex3 120Gb SSD
DVD - Generic DVD-RW x22 (£15)
OS - Win7 Home Premium (£40)
Monitor is probably going to be a 24" Samsung within the £100-150 range unless advised otherwise.
So is there anything I'm forgetting (peripherals aside)? Any compatibility issues or just bad hardware choices?
Any comments appreciated
