I7, I have the Nvidia GTX 480 video card its smokin. Go for a 64bit os with 8gig or more of DDR3 ram. SSD is overrated, save money and get a hdd. 1000 watt PS
Everyone will tell you newegg for sure. And everyone is right. Base your decisions off the majority of newegg reviews, but dont read TOO much into them.
i just put an SSD in my computer (check my blog for review). it is great. it will help more than expensive ram or cpu will.
i would recommend around a 60gb (larger if you have lots of games) ssd for you OS drive and then a large storage drive like a western digital 2tb drive. would be very good.
Newegg is a good place, as is tigerdirect. I'm running a dual core each at 1.8ghz. it gets me where I need to... I play most of my games on minimum specs. Sad, I know.
I would go for a i5 or i7 nowadays. Go for a Quadcore if you have a budget but the i-series is more futureproof.
ReplyDeleteIf you have too much money, go for SSD. put your OS on the SSD and buy an extra hdd for fiel storage.
HDD's are cheap nowadays, so buy a few (western Digital is more expensive but they are quality HDD's) and set them in raid.
For the ram, go for DDR3, DDR2 are cheap but it DDR3 is more future proof.
GPU: Normally I would say Nvidia, but ATI has made some gooed price/performance GPU's. Go for a 4000 Series.
Powersupply, go for a PSU that can handle your PC (atleast 500W).
DDR3 is the best
ReplyDeletegoodluck man

ReplyDeleteGo for SSD in raid0 for a confident data storage.
ReplyDeleteSSD and cpu i5 easy win
ReplyDeleteI agree with Flippy. Go on newegg and base your decisions off of reviews on there. That's what I'd do.
ReplyDeleteI need to upgrade my CPU as well.
ReplyDeleteSSD really isn't overrated at all. Get a 100GB SSD and a 2TB HDD and you're sorted. Believe me when I say the SSD makes all the difference.
ReplyDeletedef the 100 gb ssd
ReplyDeletei7, no compromise.
ReplyDeleteand get at least one SSD for OS, this makes booting much faster.
Thanks for info man!

ReplyDeleteget a primary SSD for your OS and a normal HD for data

ReplyDeleteI don't know a lot about hardware, but in terms of video editing, I've been using Vegas Pro and it is pretty great.
ReplyDeleteI'm throwing my hat in with the NewEgg and read-the-reviews people. Definitely the way to go.
ReplyDeletesounds good to me
