I figured I'd go out on a limb and try building my next PC. Other than email and web browsing my only hardcore application is HD video editing. I want to be able to create my own Blu Ray discs.
I just want your thoughts on my shopping list below. By the way, I have little-mid knowledge of the specs and features of many of the components.
Motherboard: Intel DX58SO
CPU: i7 3.4GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce XLR8 GTX 465, (1 GB) GDDR5 PCI Express Video Card
Case: Undecided
RAM: Undecided, but at least 8 if not 16GB
Optical: Undecided, but Blu-Ray writer a must at some point.
I guess I'm looking for some assurance that I'm headed in the right direction with the first 3 for what I'm trying to do. I'm not a gamer and wouldn't even know the purpose for overclocking, so that's not an issue. I'll leave everything to spec.
