    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    That is one expensive power supply! It looks pretty nice though. Could something like this get the job done? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006 I like the price, but will 620W be enough? I've gotten a few recommendations for a 750W. I'm not dead set on 1600. I...

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    Thank you so much for your responses! I'm sorry to be so back and forth, I'm just so new to this and it's easy to be misled. It's obvious that the i7-2600k is the better choice, so that's what I'm going with. With that conclusion, my processor, motherboard, and ram choices change. So here are...

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    So, I've incorporated a lot of advice from you guys, as well as from other forumns and this is what I've come up with for my final build. After realizing that 1155 was the successor to the 1156 and not the 1366, I decided to stick with the i7-950 for now. Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield...

    Building for the future: From 1366 to 2011

    Hello, I am about to build an HD video editing workstation to run Adobe CS5 and other 3D software. I have decided to stick with the enthusiast 1366 board over the 1155, despite the strong pull towards sandy bridge right now. However, I would love to be able to upgrade to the 2011 board when...

    Getting the best RAM for Sandy Bridge

    Ok, thank you! I didn't realize that the 1155 was mainstream, I thought it was better than 1366 for some reason. I've been debating between the i7-950 and the i7-2600k. So far everyone has recommended the i7-2600k without a second thought. However, a few people said stick with the 1366 and I...

    Getting the best RAM for Sandy Bridge

    A lot of the LGA 1366 boards that I've beeny looking at support Triple channel memory. However, all of the LGA 1155 boards seem to support Dual channel. So my questions are: 1) Why don't 1155 support triple channel? 2) Will gSkill quad channel ram work on the 1155 boards? 3) How do some 1155...

    Another question... A lot of the LGA 1366 boards that I was previously looking at supported Triple channel memory. However, all of the LGA 1155 boards seem to support Dual channel. So my questions are: 1) Why the change? 2) Will gSkill quad channel ram work on the 1155 boards 3) How do some...

    Ok cool! So are you still saying that anything over a 460 is pointless, or will adobe take advantage of better cards (gtx570 or quadro 4000)?

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    Thank you. His reasoning didn't make a lot of sense to me so I was hoping someone else could confirm what I was thinking. One question I do have is about the graphics card though. I was reading this article: http://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm, which had a lot of...

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    So after looking into everyone's suggestions I was about to go ahead and build my i7-2600k system, but then I talked to a technician at videoguys.com. He said "I think it is too soon to jump to sandy bridge. while initial reports are good. these are not from content creation folks." His...

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    So, I understand the greater capacity and same price part; however, I was wondering what makes this hard drive faster. I noticed it is only SATA 3.0Gb/s when the other card I selected was SATA 6.0Gb/s. Does this make a difference? Thank you, HD-User1080

    Need help with an HD video editing workstation!

    fffblackmage, thank you for your input! I think I will take your advice and get the 300 case and the Samsung F3 1TB. For some reason I thought I needed a higher watt power supply. I think someone recommended that one based on the graphics card consuption... but I'm not sure. I mostly picked...
