Im looking to build a system soon, i will be doing some video editing, dvd burning (burner to burner) picture editing, and some game play. I plan on later getting a blu-ray player and a 28" monitor. But for now its a 19" crt. I have nothing that i will be using from a previous build, except an 80gig ide hard drive, but i might make that external. Budget.......
 
If you want us to help, answer these questions:

  • What is your budget? Are shipping and/or taxes included within that budget?
  • Where do you live? Where are you (planning on) buying everything at?
  • Which components do you need to get? Which components do you already have? Which components are you going to reuse (from older builds)?
  • What are you going to use your computer for? Which games/programs are you going to use?
  • Do you plan on overclocking? Are you going to use water (or some other form of "exotic") cooling?
  • Which monitor are you using? What resolution do you use? Are you using multiple monitors? Do you plan on buying a new/multiple monitor(s) any time soon?
  • Which features do you want on the motherboard?
  • How long do you want this system to last? Are you (planning on) making any incremental upgrades during that time?

Also, look around the Gen Hard forum. More than likely there's at least one thread that matches your requirements and budget posted within the last week or so.

You really need to give us at least some idea of how much you can spend. For some people around here a statement like that might mean anywhere between $2000 and $3000, to others it might mean between $500 and $800.
