PC Specification advise required

Hi Guys,

I need your help in choosing parts to build my second pc for adobe editing and heavy use of converting HD movies.

I have a budget of £600 - if the wifey approves this.

My mate has offered to give me his http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-062-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Also I don't need a monitor, as I have a 24" Iiyama. No hard drive as I already have OCZ Vertex 2E 60GB and 1tb Samsung.

I would prefer a modular psu and I would like to replace all the case fans with good quality fans.

Thanks for your help in advances.

Bashy.

Will any gaming be done on this system at all or will it purely be for editing etc?

Not at the moment, but maybe in a few months down the line. However I am dead set on getting 2600K

A quad core CPU with Hyperthreading which will be useful in what you want to do.

Nvidia GPU so you get CUDA, again useful to speed up apps that can use this feature - http://developer.nvidia.com/what-cuda

Modular PSU, good case and a quiet cooler.

So just add the RAM, your drives and monitor.
