From reading a review on a similarly priced core i5, it's much better for video editing than any AMD proc (~20% faster).
Final spec:
CPU:
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz - $337
HDD:
WD Blue 320GB HDD (OS Drive) - $93
WD Blue 750GB HDD (HD Vid/Backup Drive) x2 - $254
RAM:
Corsair Value Ram 2x2GB DDR3 1333MHz - $188
PSU:
Vantec ION2 500W PSU - $110
GPU:
nVidia GT220 512MB - $109
MOBO:
Intel DP55WB LGA1156 mATX mobo - $196
OTHER:
InWin EM-Series EM019 Mini-Tower - $132
Samsung 22x DVD Writer (SATA) x2 - $122
Logitech Key/Mouse combo - $38
Asus PCI Network adapter - $45
For a whopping grand total of $1624. Not too bad considering the POS I spent $2000 on a few years ago (7600gs, 1gb of 533mhz ram, etc) :|
I've gone for blue WD drives apposed to green because of the faster write speeds (ty jcap), which will speed up the video editing process a bit. WD Black hdds have a bit too much of a price jump for the increased performance. The pretty av. GPU is there by advice from the supplier i'm buying from, as an average GPU > Onboard. The case doesn't look too bad for the price either: http://www.in-win.us/products/pc_cas...ries/EM019.jpg
Going to be buying it tomorrow, is there anything vitally wrong with it?
