Posted December 27, 2015 Here's what I would recommend: CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor ($319.99 @ Micro Center) CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($99.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus X99-A ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($238.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($164.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($329.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Red 6TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($249.00 @ Adorama) Storage: Western Digital Red 6TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive ($249.00 @ Adorama) Case: Fractal Design Define S w/Window ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ NCIX US) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit) ($89.89 @ OutletPC) Monitor: Acer XB270HU bprz 144Hz 27.0" Monitor ($760.28 @ Amazon) Mouse: Mionix Castor Wired Optical Mouse ($69.99 @ Amazon) Total: $2642.10 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts Note the fact that I did not add a new GPU. The GTX Titan should be fine for 1080p video editing and 1440p gaming. I added a nice G-Sync 1440p IPS monitor for gaming I would keep that 1080p monitor for editing. I added a Mionix Castor for gaming but if you want you can also get a Logitech MX Master for editing. 32GB of RAM will be more than enough for beginner's editing. Windows 10 isn't worth the annoying security fails. Existing PSU should be more than enough. Define S = great airflow. WD Red drives = low power, reliability, lots of storage. The M.2 SSD should be VERY fast for games and oS and in-progress video projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
