Hey guys, I have a very specific use for the machine i want to build and i have read so many posts and forums that i have no idea what i'm doing anymore.
Okay so here is the deal, i do multiple levels of video encoding and editing. I have a gigabit lan set up and have two computers setup for viewing my work in other rooms. For other reasons i need to get as fast of a data transfer as i can between my two existing computers and this system. Gaming is of interest to me but is not a necessity.
Here is what i have so far
Koolance PC-2 watercooling case
Antec 430 w True power (someone was telling me this may not be enough if i was interesting in attempting overclocking...any thoughts)
Radeon 9800 XT
2x wd 250GB caviars (i have two more but i was thinking of getting 2 36 gb raptors to fill the other two available hdd bays in the tower)
Audigy 2 ZS platinum
I guess my real question is...i need to get the best data transfer i can and need the best performance i can get for my video editing/encoding
i want to spend a maximum of 400-450 on my mobo and processor but of course less is better cuz i can then afford other stuff (mebbe 76gb raptors???) ...what kind of mobo and processor should i get???
Can you also recommend some memory so i can try my hand at oc'ing???
BTW thanks for all the help! =)
