New Computer Build
usfsilverking Sep 7, 2014 7:33 PMHey Guys!
I'm working on my parts list for a new Pc build i'm working on with a budget of $1500. I already have my OS, a 120GB SSD, and 2 750Gb 7200RPM drives. I also have ~3 5400RPM drives 500Gb-1Tb which as of now, will not be included in the build unless you guys think I could/should add them to my RAID array. I have a 36" HD TV to be used for my monitor and have a mouse and keyboard.
I will be mostly using Davinci Resolve & premiere CC with some Photoshop and After Effects used routinely as well. The primary footage I will be editing is CinemaDNG RAW from blackmagic camera's, with some 7D and GoPro thrown in every now and then also.
Here is what I am thinking of doing for the build

[b]Total:[/b] $1303.84
I will use my SSD as the OS drive, the 2 2TB drives in RAID 0 for my media/Projects drive and my 2 750GB drives for scratch disks.
I won't be buying this for another 2 months so if something new may be coming out, I would love to hear, as well as any suggestions/feedback as this is my first build ever. I really just threw that case up there for completeness, but I am probably going to get another depending on what I think looks the best and has the best features.
Thank you so much for any feedback!
Kyle
