I am going to build a new PC once I can get back home to Edmonton for my time off, work up in the oil sands and been here over 35 days in camp and got another 2 or 3 weeks.
I want to buy from www.memoryexpress.com and want to spend about 2k maybe 100 more, maybe 100 less.
I need to be able to play PC games and run FRAPS in 1080p and then also do video editing in sony vegas for my youtube www.youtube.com/JonJonPoPong. I don't know how long till the new AMD bulldozer comes out or if it will be out when I go for my week off. I guess since it is being released so much later than intels i7 2600 it should be faster for cheaper, one would guess. I have had AMD desktops in the past and had no issues and also had intel machines, I just want whatever CPU is the most powerful for the under $450 mark.
I need a good case for 150-250 that I can use for the future and a good power supply that will serve me well if I go dual video cards and over clock.
I would be up for over clocking my CPU as long as it would be stable (so nothing insane) so I don't know what kind of CPU fan would be appropriate for that.
For video card I am thinking nvidia 580 and then later on I could add another for SLI.
As for motherboard I don't really know what to get with that, something good for $250-300ish.
Then I need a monitor, I am thinking 27 inches with 2ms, not sure what the best one for around $250ish would be.
As for RAM whatever the best ram would be, I will most likely go with only 8 gigs for now and later on add another 8 when it becomes cheaper or I feel like spending the money.
For hard drive I would like 1 128 gig SSD, whatever the best one is for $200ish? I will get another SSD later on when the price drops closer to $1 a gig. I have a 640gig drive that I can use for video. I don't know how much hard drive speed effects FRAPS recording/in game performance.
Don't think I missed anything, I used to keep up with hardware like 9-8 years ago but have really stopped paying attention ever since, so I would appriciate it if anyone was willing to take the time to help me out.
