I've been asking a lot questions in the past day on this site and I figured I would just go ahead see if others have any comments towards my list as a whole.
As far as the system goes, I am trying to build a system that will allow me to encode videos quickly, use Photoshop/Premiere/Flash, and allow be able to play games at one point or another. I am not concerned with having the top grade graphics card but I do want it to be effective. My motherboard has SLI so I could always upgrade that eventually. I am already at my budget, yet I will be still willing to swap items and reconsider things.
I mentioned in another thread about getting the quad core, I would still like to get it but I don't know if it would end up skyrocketing my budget.
Any thoughts and opinions will be highly appreciated.
