computer build in the works.

[Rai Nicholas]

Hello everyone, I am Ryan and i am a student who is just getting out of college and i am wanting to build a computer for Video,Photo & audio editing. I am currently not sure on what to go for in terms for parts to build my computer that can handle all of the all of the editing, but i do also want to do some gaming on it to and at the moment i can say the only things i know for sure that i've looked into that would be a good investment to the build is the processor which is the Intel 5820k and outside of that i am unsure of what parts to go for my build. Could someone help me figure out what would be the best way to go for a strong solid workstation and gaming build.

 

Thanks

Okay, well I'd say the 5820K is a good start as the hexacore will definitely help in video editing and rendering, and be great for gaming. However, not much difference between a hexacore and quad-core in that respect. Do you want to overclock? If not/low level overclocking - then I recommend this CPU Cooler  - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO   - And for the rest, do you care much about the appearance? Or are you looking for a certain build colour scheme? This can all affect what case, motherboard, RAM, GPU etc you get.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8XgGTW - I threw this together, I have no idea what you want, budget or anything but this is a $1300 ish build. No OS, Monitor or optical drive in this build. You are free to change and do whatever with it
