Upcoming Build

Input? Suggestions?

I'll be using this build for gaming, video editing, photo editing, and rendering. I do plan on eventually adding a second video card, so keep that in mind.

I have already purchased the video card, power supply, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Everything else is interchangeable.

That is indeed a very nice build.  You might want to look into a WD Black drive if you need more storage, but everything looks good otherwise.  You can probably find some cheaper, 2400 clocked RAM if you wanted to save some money.

 

Ahh, forgot to mention, I've got three 1TB drives I'll be transferring over from my current system for mass storage. I may replace those in the future, though. Any recommendations on other 2400MHz memory?

If money is not a problem you should scrap the 840 pro and get something better. like a pci-E ssd :D
