I'm currently building a new computer for Video Editing, CAD, and maybe some server use...
My budget is around $1500, so post whatever you would do for the price, minus the hard drives and peripherals (I have 5 TB's worth already but i'm interested in some SSD's)
(I've also been looking at a dual G34 setup, more for server use but I am not so sure. As it would raise the cost to around $2-3k.. I was looking at dual Opteron 6344)
It will end up being around $1500, as I am getting the 670 GPU for around $250 on these forums.
great build! the 3770k is wicked fast it can handle anything, i have it too, but for ssd's i highly recomend the new ocz vector, its neck and neck with the samsung pro 840 with 520 mb writes and and 540 mb upload speeds!
Awesome build but for about $300 more, you can get sandy bridge E 6 core x79 with a 3930k. Its epically fast! but if you don't wanna spend more, this build is great
I'd scale WAY back on that case. Remember that your case is just the thing your computer sits in. as long as you got a decent I/O panel and enough room/airflow, that's all you need.
Here's something that would do quite nicely for around $1300
