I'm in the process of stripping down two oldish computers and upgrading. I haven't built a computer since forever ago, so I'm not completly up to date on the latest hardware.
I'm looking for a machine I can game on, as well as use for photo/video and eventually music editing.
Begin the torrent of questions:
1. How much RAM do I need? I regularly work with files that are over a gig large, and on my 512 on ram currently, photoshopping and rendering is slow as hell.
2. I have six hard drives, a cdrw, and a dvd rom. How good of a power supply do I need?
3. I'm a bit of a gamer too. I like to run stuff at max settings, though most of the time I don't bother with the higher resolutions. I'm currently eyeballing the 6800; is the leadtek version any good?
