my friend is lookin for a future-proof build, suited for audio and video editing
(hes a music producer). he doesnt wanna have to upgrade till late 2009 at earliest
i picked these out - whatdya guys think?
CPU:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor
RAM:
CORSAIR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit
Motherboard:
ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Intel X38
Video Card:
MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256E-OC GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP
he'd rather have a higher FSB than quad-core, at this moment in time. any suggestions or concerns?
i'm thinking by 2009, DDR3-1066 is gonna be the low-end, (like DDR266), thats why i picked 1333 (CPU has 1333mhz FSB, so im givin it 1333Mhz RAM)
i also picked that 8800GTS because he wants to do work with HD 1080p video, and blu-ray and hddvd movies ALL ON VISTA so i thought HDCP and DX10-support would be a good feature (hence why i didnt pick a 7600GT)
