Hi guys.
I want to build a new video editing DEDICATED computer. But I want a top PC, with the following specs:
- Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition $1,029.99
- G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 2133Mhz $139.99
- ASUS P9X79 $299.99
- OCZ Vector Series SATA III 256GB $269.99
- EVGA GeForce GTX 690 $1,019.99
- 2x Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 269.98
As you can see, it´s a expensive PC. So, I want to build it piece by piece, one at a time. Actually, I have a Intel Dual-Core E5400 with 4GB RAM. My doubt is: at first, should I buy a GTX 690 and put it in my atual PC (to improve video preview and rendering) or should I buy at first the i7-3970X Extreme Edition with the ASUS P9X79 mobo without the GTX graphic card? Which way will I have more performance? Just remembering, after I´ll buy all the set above.
P.S.: You can suggest any component change that you think I´ll get more performance.
Thanks.
NEW! I´ve just found the Seagate Constellation ES.3 4TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache. So, will be this one instead Barracuda.
