Hi, I need to build a CPU for video rendering, my budget is around 2,500. Since this is my first custom build CPU I will need as many info as possible. Your advices are very appreciated!
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
I’m studying Multimedia design and the heaviest part is Video rendering. I will mainly use this computer for video rendering/photo retouching/web design...strictly NO GAMING  Business first!
2. What YOUR budget is.
$2,500
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
I’m living in Australia but open to America options too.
4. IF you're buying parts OUTSIDE the US, please post a link to the vendor you'll be buying from.

5. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc.
Intel chipsets & Nvidia GPU are said to go better with Adobe design programs so I would prefer them over AMD or ATI.
6. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
Already got DVD drive, monitor, mouse and keyboard.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Not sure if overclocking is good for video rendering. Advice?
8. What resolution, not monitor size, will you be using?
Already got one.
9. WHEN do you plan to build it?
October 2013. But I can wait if there will be new release in nearby dates.
10. Do you need to purchase any software to go with the system, such as Windows or Blu Ray playback software?
No. Already got the software ready to be installed.
*Additional info:
- I also need a SSD for faster rendering
- Minimum RAM must be 16GB, if it is the Hexa core then RAM must be at least 12GB
- Cooling gears must be good quality since I’m planning to take the CPU to a tropical country
- No preference of colour/design/lighting...My main focus is performance.
- Being aware of the lighting fast change in technology and considering the fact that I will be throwing a lot of money on this CPU, I think I should get a large mainboard with extra slots in case of upgrades in the future. What do you guys think?
