Advice on Editing build!

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/29Vee

I will be using this for After Effects, Sony Vegas,GMod & Minecraft Streaming/recording(With shaders if possible). I will be pairing this with a 1080p Monitor, a 1600x900 monitor, and a 1680x1050 monitor. I already have storage, and I will be reusing my current case.

 

Edit: I plan on overclocking the Processor, and possibly the GPU.

 

Edit: Current build-

CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 3.00 GHz stable

GPU- Radeon HD 5570

RAM- 8GB 400MHz Dual Channel(4 dimms)

Storage- 500GB Seagate Barracuda(boot) & Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB

Power supply- 400w Dynex

Case- Antec sonata

Budget ?

[cjeffcoatjr]

Will you be gaming on Nvidia surround/EyeFinity?

Will you be gaming on Nvidia surround/EyeFinity?

I wasnt sure I could do that on 3 differently sized monitors. If I can then sure!

[Bonsai99]

You are missing case+storage, do you already have them?

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

Budget ?

Around $480 without Mail In Rebates.

PSU wasn't enough, GPU was overpriced, the RAM is cheaper, and you forgot the case and storage. GMod and Minecraft are extremely light games. I would play them on a P4 and a 9800GT. AFAIK editing is mainly CPU, and a little GPU, in which case you have Open CL to use.

Stated in OP, yes.

Ill take out the storage & Case and Ill be able to fit this in my budget! Also that ram is out of stock.

[Importedham]

Thats a hard budget man

[Bonsai99]

Stated in OP, yes.

Oh, I see that you just added it

Not going to be able to get a good 8320 build at that price. That motherboard is not going to be a happy camper if you overclock on it.

Ill only be stretching it about 4-500MHz.

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

Out of the advice I have gotten this is what I came up with:

[Bonsai99]

The maximum TDP of the board is that of the processor and the VRM has no heatsinks which isn't good.

Well I can sacrifice overclocking.

[Grape Guild]

If you're doing a lot of editing, you might want to double up on the memory.

I will eventually.

The 5570 is still a good card. It will max out GMod and Mincraft I guarantee you. Put more cash into a better board for OCing, more RAM and to an SSD for a boot drive, then you could partition your 1TB drive in half and run the separate 500GB partitions along with your other drive in a RAID 5. Open CL will also work fine on the GPU.

Yes thats true, but I cant play shaders which I have been looking forward too using, also If I want to play a new games that come out, and the 7870 GHz is a card that will last me a while and will be a beast with OpenCL.

True. Its your call. I would take my provided build and then save up for a new GPU. Work a month or so at mcdonalds and get ~$150 to use for a 7870.

Not really old enough to work there . But I could go around raking up leaves. What do you think? Also the 3 monitors will probably push the 5570.

Whatever floats your boat. 

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

I would rather save up for an SSD, it would take less time. I could partition my boot drive to have a 100GB section and then just copy that to the SSD once I get it.

Yer get the 7870 it will be better in general
