I am planning on building a PC for 3 reasons: cost effective, experience, fun!
The computer should be able to handle HD video and multitasking, no gaming, maybe some video editing, and I want something the will not be obsolete in at least 7 years. Here are links to components I have selected:
Case- http://tinyurl.com/43pfv5f
CPU- http://tinyurl.com/3k75fsk
Motherboard- http://tinyurl.com/3t9glpr
Graphics Card- http://tinyurl.com/3ttpurj
Power Supply- http://tinyurl.com/3wuw64n
Heatsink- http://tinyurl.com/3zuwjgc
Any suggestions? What kind of optical drive should I get? What can I do to save money? How much RAM and HDD do I need? Any compatibility issues?
Thanks for your time!
