Some recommendations please
hi, i'm trying to build a decent pc so i can do my semi-pro video editing on, so far i've got an abit IC7 motherboard and a 3ghz P4. i could do with some ideas for other components. i want to keep the budget as cheap as possible (still being a student) but dont mind having to pay the extra money for something if it's worth it for my system. I will probably go for something like the interest free option on scan and dabs when spending over £300/400 etc..
Please let me know what you think
I was thinking about 1gb for definite, probably 2paired 512mb corsair value select. any other suggestions?
i need a graphics card with dual monitor capability and nice max resolution (ideally hooked up to a tv monitor for reviewing playback), i'm not gonna be playing games so 3d isn't a big importance.
i was thinking about going for a black zorro case or the xenon black one from www.microcity.co.uk as neither are too expensive. anyone know where i can get detailed pics of the zorro case? whats the manufacturers web address?
i need a good dual format dvd writer, looking to spend upto £90-100, but which do i pick?
another hard drive to go with my 40gb one i already have, SATA would be nice, any suggestions?
i need an adsl modem or modem/router
also some decent/cheap 5.1 speakers to go with motherboard
likewise with keyboard/mouse combo but not that important.
as for monitors i haven't decided if i need 2 yet, want to get graphics card first and see how premiere pro's workspace looks on 1 19" monitor 1st before i decide if i need 2.
sorry for being long winded, but any suggestions would help, most important things i need help with are graphics card, adsl modem/router (need to set up with btyahoo broadband), ram, and dvd writer
thanks
