New All Rounder Build...help?

[CeePeeBee]

Hi guys

Right I have an of Q9550 system with a GeForce 6800 GT which I'm dispensing with and building y first system in about 10 years.

The idea of the build is features, options ( video editing, games, general processing) and silence. No budget but I'm trying to b careful.

So far I have this, but am stuck on an AMD card....I have no idea of gfx cards by more.

1 x Intel i5 3570k retail
1 x Noctua F12 PWM (to replace the HS fan)
1 x Coolermaster Hyper 212
1 x Asus P8Z77-V LX
2 x Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600mhz
1 x Corsair Carbide 500R case

On Overclockers so far that comes to just over £500. So any ideas of a mid range card for a casual gamer? I also need to get two HDMI monitors, so if anyone has ideas on that one too???

Fun and games eh

Remember, silence is a main consideration with temps a very close second. However all of that is underpinned with he fact that everything I use the machine for will be occasional. ( casual gaming...occasional video encoding, etc)

Hi Doomed

Thanks for that. Any explanation for the mobo and cooler change? After I knew I was hitting the 1K mark I re-evaluated budget to c.£700. More work to do think

Hi,

Thanks for your continuing help....I can trawl all day but as I say, I've been out of the spec game for nearly 10 yrs!

So £700....yes I can sacrifice over clocking as long as stock offers considerable/adequate future proofing. Dual monitors are a must. I use 2 currently for work when at home, so need to replicate that....I have them I can use and look to replace monitors at a later date if required I suppose.
