newls1 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks, man...Im really liking that setup. I appreciate the time you took putting it together...what cases would you recommend? My friend swears by his thermaltakes, but I've never used anything other than standard HP, or Dell computers. BRB with some nice and CHEAP cases..... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811233037 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811119204 the options are endless, just cruise thru newegg.com and look at them all Edited January 25, 2010 by newls1 Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirvalica Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I got this case. It's pretty nice. Does what it needs to. No problems, except maybe not enough external 3.5" bays.

Total comes to 633$ for everything above.... Good suggestions. I would just buy a cheaper processor...cut about 100+ off the price...maybe something dual core.

Nirvalica Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Here's the setup I have. I'm real happy with it. Not too expensive either. Only thing I would change might be the graphics card. I'd probably get that ATi card newls posted. Mobo- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813131366 CPU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103652 PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817371015 Ram- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820227297 HD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136283 DVD burner- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827151192 Bluray reader- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106325 And this is the GPU I have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150357 But that is a Nvidia gpu and the motherboard is an ATi based mobo. There are some slight problems with that, like a few of the mobo's graphics control programs for ATi don't work with the Nvidia. But that's minor, and don't affect the function of the graphics card or mobo... All that is like $800 with shipping though. You could probably do without the bluray (-80) and you probably could find some cheaper ram (-20-40ish) That's about how much it all cost me when I bought it over the summer too. Prices really haven;t changed much... Quote My Youtube Page.

k3n12ock Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I've built 3 computers for myself and I really like the AMD cpu's. As for cases, this is the one I have. It's a basic case but does the job. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811147112 Quote 05 xB - (2) EVIL 18s - (2) BC3500s - NO WALL Channel 1: http://www.youtube.com/k3n12ock Channel 2: http://www.youtube.com/MrK3n12ock2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newls1 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 lets keep in mind here people, that if the OP is going to be doing "MAINLY" photo editing, then he NEEDS a cpu that has a large bank of cache. Yes, like I said in my above post, a Athlon x4 620 would save a 100$, but only has 512k cache per core. That i5 CPU has 8MB's........ ANY, and I repeat ANYYYYYYY adobe program will love that bank of cache! of course the OP can use the lesser CPU's, but we are talking about a significant performance difference, and if it costs only 75-100$ now to have it, the OP might as well get it.

Thanks, man. You've really been a huge help. Main purpose will be video and photoediting, so if I will see a noticeable increase in performance then it will be worth the extra $100 or so dollars. Im trying to keep a fairly low budget, but I have no problem spending more money than I planned if I will see a decent benefit...it will just take a little longer to buy if thats the case. Im not wanting to cut off my nose to spite my face.

Now that these CORE "i" series CPU's have integrated mem controllers, they FLY! AMD has been using this tech since 04, and still do, but intel really is the faster CPU for what your wanting to do.... at least IMO..

Migz Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 Just thought i'd post and mention that i tottally agree with newls1 rig. Great setup that will run like a dream. Although maybe it'd be better to have a less powerful GPU and a bit more Ram? Something in the 4xxx series instead of the 5xxx series as the rig wouldn't be used for gaming so not as much of a need for a powerful card. Then either get 2GB or 4GB more Ram. Besides that the rig posted by newls1 is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
