Hi,
I have put together this spec for a workstation for Graphics and Video editing, after following advice on this and other forums.
I shall be using Adobe CS5.
I am buying components online from Ireland.
This is not my first PC build, but I am by no means an expert and have a few questions, so any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Proposed build:
Motherboard:
Asus P6X58D-E
Processor:
Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 45nm 3.06GHz LGA1366 L3 8MB 130W Retail
(MoBo and CPU bundle)
RAM:
Corsair Memory XMS3 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz DIMM 240-Pin - Mfr#: CMX4GX3M1A1600C
(leaves 3 slots for expansion up to 24GB max)
Power Supply:
Corsair Memory 850W Ultra Quiet 80+ ATX PSU
Boot Drive:
Samsung 1TB Spinpoint F3 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s 32MB
Video Storage:
Samsung 1TB Spinpoint F3 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s 32MB
(will possibly add another and RAID 0 them at some point)
General Storage:
Samsung 1TB Spinpoint F3 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s 32MB
Optical Drive:
LiteOn 12x BD-RW Blu-Ray re-writer SATA
OS:
Windows 7 Ultimate or Professional 64-bit OEM
(any advantage to ultimate?)
GPU:
Zotac GeForce GTX 470 1280MB PCI-Express 2.0 x16 HDMI AMP! - Mfr#: ZT-40202-10P
(This is the overclocked version with extra coolers - I think!)
Monitor:
Samsung SyncMaster F2380M
Any ideas on a case to put it all in?
Should I get an extra cooler for the CPU?
Am I missing anything?
--Your thoughts?
