Budget Range: £1200 while being sensible (I do not wish to pay twice as much for 10-20% performance improvements but if it is significant then I am willing to use up all of my budget)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing and encoding, music production, EXTREME MULTI-TASKING, gaming
Parts Not Required: I will be using the following in my new build and they will not be required:
Coolermaster Silent pro Gold 1000W PSU
Asus Xonar DX soundcard
Dell U2711 + Samsung SyncMaster 245B
Gigabyte GTX 560ti
Keyboard/Mouse/Speakers/Hard drives
Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced Case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: any reliable website including Ebay sellers. Ebuyer and Amazon are my favourites
Country of Origin: UK
Parts Preferences: I've had my eyes on the i7 2600K, at least 16GB RAM and adding another GTX 560ti to my computer. I also wish to invest in an SSD to run my operating system/software apps from. This is well under my budget! if I can get significant extra performance I would be happy to spend more.
Overclocking: FINE as long as it does not affect the stability.
SLI or Crossfire: I want to get a second GTX 560ti but I'm interested in other options (if there are any)
Monitor Resolution: Dual displays @2560x1440 & 1920x1200
Additional Comments: I am upgrading from the following:
Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM @800mhz
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R
I had 6GB of memory but two 1GB modules become faulty, 4GB is not enough for video editing in Adobe After Effects and multi-tasking effectively. New DDR2 memory is expensive and not worth investing in. I cannot add a second 560ti to my current build as the motherboard only supports crossfire. I am interested in new technologies such as "QUICKSYNC" for video encoding.
Thanks in advance for your help
