Hi everyone,
I am looking to build my first computer and the main use will be video editing via Premiere Pro and some basic photo editing via Lightroom.
I usually work late into the night so a silent machine would be a bonus so don't get distracted by the fans going mental.
I am looking for some final advice before going ahead and ordering the following:
Intel Core i7-3770K - I don't intend to OC it but would like to in the future to get some more output if want faster renders.
Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI - OC motherboard for future.
16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 - With only 2 slots it makes sense to max out the RAM from the start?
BitFenix Prodigy - Case looks awesome and should fit under desk without taking too much space. I did consider a ATX build but the cases are just to big and not sure if would make use of extra HHD, SLI setup etc.
Graphics Card - ??? I am not a gamer so looked at the basic GTX 650, GTX650 Ti or at a push GTX 660. Would the basic GTX650 cover my needs for working in Premiere Pro / Lightroom?
256 SSD - OS
1 TB HDD - x3 for data/scratch/archive
CPU Cooler Corsair H60? I am not sure what cooler to get or whether I even need a water cooled system if i'm not OC'ing to the max. I simply want a silent system but unsure if any normal air coolers can fit and/or if they would block the PCI slot or which one to get?
PSU - Silverstonetek ST55F-G / http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=351. Will 550w be sufficient for my needs?
Any tips/advice on selecting the perfect components for my needs would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
