Final Cut
so here it is, I am probably going to be buying everything in the next few days so I just wanted see if you guys see any issues that I do not.
GPU: asus 6850 Newegg.ca - ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU/2DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity CPU: i3 550 (already purchased with a giftcard) MOBO: Asus p755d-e NCIX.com - Buy ASUS P7P55D-E LGA1156 P55 DDR3 2PCI-E16 3PCI-E1 2PCI CrossFireX USB3.0 SATA 6GB Motherboard - P7P55D-E In Canada. PSU: Antec earthwatts 650 Newegg.ca - Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply HDD: WD caviar black 640gb 64 cache NCIX.com - Buy Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA3 6GB/S 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5IN Dual Proc Hard Drive OEM - WD6402AAEX In Canada. Ram: corsair xms 4g 2x2 http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=40...acture=Corsair Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 Buy the Cooler Master HAF 922M ATX Black Mid-Tower Case at TigerDirect.ca windows 7 home prem (already purchased) I figure the CPU/Ram/HDD are all reasonably inexpensive upgrades down the road and I am hoping to get a good 4 to 5 years out of it before it is just too slow to hack it any more. this should be a nice upgrade from my p4 2.4 and my asus P4P with 2gb ram and and agp 256 vid card. it was a amd 64 3500 and a msi k2 neo but the mobo fried (go figure) so let me know what you think. Also I would like to thank all of you for your constructive and very informative replies that I have read and received in my short time here. Last edited by busher16; 11-24-2010 at 12:08 PM. |

Other than the video card, the system looks like a winner.
I'm not saying the video card is bad, I'm just not having an opinion on it because I'm no VC expert.

That's a good video card for the price, and Asus is a quality manufacturer.

it seems that the Asus 6850 is now out of stock on newegg and ncix. AFAIK asus was on the good list of video card manufacturers.
ncix also has the HIS, Sapphire and Diamond versions of the 6850 in stock for about the same price. I don't know which of them I would go with or maybe there is another card for about the same price that I could check out. |

Those are the good brands. You can't go wrong with any of them.

From a support standpoint, I'd stick with HIS or Diamond.
