I've been looking around putting together lists of parts for a potential build in the near future, and you may have seen some of my other posts about it. It will mostly be a workstation for HD video editing/compositing, with some gaming on the side (Battlefield 3 and some simulators mostly).
I'm looking to go for LGA 2011 for the future upgradability, as I want this to last for a long time. I'm not sure if I should start with the 3820 to get going (and upgrade when another 6 core comes out, or something with really good value) or get the 3930K right off the bat. I'm also thinking about using an Nvidia GTX 670, but if anyone can recommend a good single graphics card fit for my needs I would be grateful. My budget pretty much maxes out at AU$1300 (About $1350 US).
If anyone can recommend some configurations I would be very happy. I have RAM, hard drives and a case and accessories sorted though.
Thanks to everyone in advance, Tek Syndicate and its People are epic!

This thing is perfectly fine man. Plus it'd be alot better than having that quad core for a while, it's just alot better of an idea to get the PC you want and not need any upgrades right away than have an unfinished build just to hold off imo. AMD is a perfectly fine choice for a workstation this things actually pretty powerful. The 2Tb drive is for projects and the 256 is for small programs, OS, and games. You could just do a traditional hard drive though and save about 100$.
Your way works too though.
Here is something alone the lines of what you wanted. No RAM, Case, Storge Drives or optical drive. Sorry for the price being in the Canadian dollar on pc part picker but here is the AUS price $1285.51. I also would want to put a sound card in there if you are going to be editing but thats just me.
