Hey, guys. I just signed up and would appreciate any advice or recommendations on building a new kit. My main PC was just stolen, sad thing is that I bought it under credit for over a thousand dollars and I'm still paying it off. I was going to upgrade my old storage PC, but decided it would be best to build a new PC. I would buy a retail desktop, but It will obviously be cheaper to build my own.
I don't do gaming and need something that will run strong and reliable for years to come. I need something powerful enough to encode HD videos at ease and load up CS5 at the same time, and run without a hitch, all while playing music off iTunes and watching a video from YouTube at 1080p. Here's what I've come up with so far:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto Dual-Core Desktop Processor
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
PSU: Antec earthwatts EA500 500W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.2 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
CASE: Thermaltake V3 Black Edition VL80001W2Z Black SECC / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
CPU COOLER: Thermaltake TR2-R1 / AMD Socket AM2/939/754 / Aluminum / 92mm Fan / CPU Cooler
