Should have posted this as well:
System functions:
45% games
30% multimedia (TV, music, hobby video editing, 6mm to DVD, photoshop, etc…)
25% office work
Here is what I’ve sort of been looking at from what I’ve picked up in other threads:
Mobo: MSI P6N SLI-FI
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6420
Video: ???? suggestions appreciated here, need a multimedia option, TV in/out, ability to connect the DVD player, video 8mm camera and mini DV etc…
RAM: OCZ 2GB DDR-800mhz
Audio: is my current PCI SB card with 5.1 speakers compatible?
HD: Seagate barracuda 500GB
PSU: OCZ/GameXStream 600 or 700 watts
Monitor: N/A
Case: Cooler Master Centurion 5
Mouse/keyboard: N/A
Others: will I have any issues transferring my DVD burner and player over from my current system? IDE?
Also, any difference going AMD instead of intel? If so any suggestions on the mob/CPU?
