Rate my $2500 Build
Hey guys, I'm going to be building a PC next year in January when Sandy Bridge comes out. This will be my first every PC I build so I'd like some thoughts on it and how I can improve it. This machine will be used for gaming, music production and a lot of HD Video editing. The parts are in AUD by the way.
Case: Antec 1200 - $214
Card Reader: Any card reader - $20
CPU: i7 2600k - around $400
GPU: AMD 6970 - around $500
Hard Drive 1: Samsung F4 2TB - $100
Hard Drive 2: Samsung F4 2TB - $100
SSD: OCZ 60GB - $140
HDTV Tuner - Leadtek Dual Tuner - $50
Memory - 8GB G Skill Ripjaws (1600Mhz) - $160
Motherboard - Gigabyte Sandybridge Model - around $230
Optical Drive - LiteOn Bluray Writer - $120
PSU - Corsair TX-850 - $178
Sound Card - Asus Xonar Essence STX - $190
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit - $130
Obviously the 6970 and i7 2600k aren't out yet so I'll be buying them in January. Overall though, for mainly gaming and professional media editing, how does this PC look? Is there anything I should change?
