Need opinions and advice on $2500 gaming build

[OctopusMan]

My current build costs 3.3k. This is a bit too expensive, and I was wondering if I could change this build to cheaper? I don't want any low quality parts, only the best, and I need it to be upgradable for the future as well. Opinions/help on the build? Around 2.5k would be a good price.
(I need an Asus motherboard and i7 processor for video editing; I also prefer non-referenced gpus)

Edit: I'm also planning on having dual 1080p moniters

It looks like a great build. A bit expensive though.

Three things from me:

- I suggest a USB WiFi adapter; they are far more reliable than internal ones. Also if you plan to game then use ethernet!
- I should imagine the 5930K will be awesome at video editing without overclocking. You could take the H100 down to a H80 or even a good air cooler.
- 1TB SSD? Can you get two good HDDs and RAID 1 (mirror) them? These will give decent read speeds and will be far cheaper than 1TB SSD. You could even get a 2TB mirror.

For that system I would probably go with a 256 GB SSD, and a larger hard drive.

What if I dont want RAID? Im not risking losing my data with a raid config. Would a 2 TB harddrive with a 256 SSD boot drive be good?

Any personally recommended hard drives?

I like WD Caviar Black drives myself.

Actually raid 1 is a way to insure that you won't lose Data it is DATA Redundancy, With a Raid 10 you could give yourself better speed + more space and still come out cheaper. or like he said go Raid 1 for redundancy.

 

[terry4536]

If your data is critical, then a RAID setup makes sense. But otherwise a scheduled backup of your files is effective and is much less expensive.

 

[Mattios]

Whatever floats your boat - obviously one 2TB is cheaper than 2 of them. As long as you back up, then one drive is fine. I was only thinking RAID because to my (limited) video editing knowledge, good read speeds are important.

 

[DayzGamer]

I only meant cheaper than a 1 TB SSD you could easily purchase 2-4 1TB Hard drives.Raid 1/0 or 10.
