Hi
I'm a first time builder and newbie to the forum. I'm looking to build a machine mainly for photoshopping, video editing, burning dvds, and the occasionnaly game playing. Possibly a machine I can easily overclock a little. This is what I have in mind.
- dual core processor (haven't decided weather to go amd or intel?)
- at least 2 gigs of ram for graphics work
- dual dvi video card (i have 2 dell 1905fp lcds)
- usb 2.0 (my only machine is usb 1.0
- dvd burner dual layer
- firewire connection for video editing
- nice modern case
- lights to show off my new machine
- must be quiet too
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. My budget is around $1300. Thanks.
