Hey guys. I'm currently running on a HP Pavillion I purchased in 2001 and this is the first system I'm building. I need a computer that can handle pretty decent video editing (Going into my first year in film school). In my 2nd year I'll be required to purchase a Macbook pro because they teach Final Cut Studio 2 but I also want a good computer for dorm use/vegas editing. This is the current system I'm trying to build, I just want to know if the parts will work with each other (I'm very clueless about hardware but after much research this is the current build of the pc I want:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor LGA775 Kentsfield 2.40GHZ 1066FSB 8MB
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI-E
Mobo: ASUS P5Q Pro ATX LGA775 P45 DDR2 2PCI-E16 Crossfire 3PCI-E1 2PCI SATA2 Sound GBLAN eSATA
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB Hard Drive x 2
RAM: Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5 4GB DDR2 2X2GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL 5-5-5-18 240PIN
DVD Writer: Samsung SH-S203N Black SATA DVD+RW 20X8X16 DVD-RW 20X6X16 DL18X/12X Lightscribe DVD Writer OEM W/ SW
Monitor: Acer X193WB Black 19IN Widescreen LCD Monitor 1440X900 2000:1 5MS VGA x 2
As you see, I'm trying to build a dual monitor system and I'm still not sure if the video card will support that. Also, as far as case is concerned it should be a mid atx tower right? How would I go with the power source and cooling (fans? liquid?) Any help would be awesome, thanks.
