Hi I am building my own for the first time and I have found all my parts I want I just needed someone to look them over and tell me if they see something wrong or something not compatible. I am going for a system that is capable of good quality videos and I want to use this system for vegas pro editing. I'll be running dreamweaver adobe pre elements and other software like it. If you could look at what I have picked out and tell me what you think. Should my video card be high end for editing or does that matter? Also I wanted to find 2 8gb memory sticks instead of 4x4 since it can take up to 32gb that way I would have 2 slots left over for upgrade later if I wanted is that possible.
Thanks

Hi GaDawg69,

I am going for a system that is capable of good quality videos and I want to use this system for vegas pro editing. I'll be running dreamweaver adobe pre elements and other software like it.

I know that a AMD platform is less expensive than Intel but I feel you are heading down the wrong track. You would be very disappointed with the performance.

The FX-4100 is out classed by the Phenom ll X4 970 and up, http://www.cpubenchm...h_end_cpus.html

Intel is the only way to go. Explore this site, http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5.php

Well the whole idea was trying to get away from intel for a change but I guess I would be better off with it can you look at the motherboard and tell me if the phenom II x4 would go with it I thought I read that this motherboard would only be able to use the FX type processor. If so could you recommend a a good mobo between 75 to $100. The reason I went with this Mobo and processor was the ratings on them were between 4-5 out of 5. Thanks for the help
