This is my first post on this forum, although I have been reading posts as an unregistered member for about two months now.
I am toying with the idea of building a new desktop for my office at home.
This will be used for:
Video editing
We have a full HD camcorder, and my wife loves to edit our home movies (nothing seedy!!!) using Nero 9 and, more recently, Adobe Premiere Pro - Both my desktop and her laptop cannot handle this process.
Gaming
Simply, my desktop is not good enough for the most recent games!!!!
Working
I am in Instructional Designer/Training Developer, my job entails using things like Adobe Flash, again, my desktop cannot handle this!!!!
I have put together a spec of a P that I would like to build, but do have a few concerns about all of this physically fitting together - i.e. does my PSU have the correct/enough connectors to power everything?
If anyone can take a look over this spec, (I have included links to review/spec info) I would appriciate it.
