Hi all.
I have finally decided to buy my first PC dedicated to gaming & video editing. I have an old desktop but I can't do much on it, which is how I got to this decision. I'm going to buy it assembled at Cyber Power PC and foregoing building it on my own just due to the fact that I'm still learning that side of things and also I don't want to bust something and have to pay more for it.
You already fucking lost me, just do it man. Jesus, you want to have a clue when you touch your computer? You gotta throw in some time otherwise when that beast shows up already made, you'll be fucking scared to touch it man..
But yeah, as far as helpful advice....
I'm assuming you're running Adobe Premiere Pro right? And you have your CS6 shit in order?
First piece of advice, decide on your CPU and then find a motherboard that will fit the socket of your CPU.
How much video editing do you actually do? Or did you want something to stitch together movies faster, and you don't have like deadlines and people yelling at you all the time?
If you're an actual enthusiast, your biggest question is whether you want to go i7 or grabbing a hexcore processor. Seeing as how you're going through CyberPower PC (unless you toughen by then). You're better off going for the i7-3770k. Just remember, your CPU matters so don't listen when people won't read the video editing part and go "YOU DON'T NEED MULTI-THREADING." You do, and you will feel the difference on projects.
I linked my blog when I built my first PC and went with the i7-3770k and an Asus motherboard.
Then go with 16 gigabytes of RAM at least, don't forget a MODULAR power supply (although you won't be doing the ribbon tying, so it's kind of a null point).
As far as videocards go, no reason not to get the 670 unless you want the 680 in my opinion. Asus, EVGA, or MSI.
