Video editing build - configurator

[livelifeloud]

Hey hey,

I'm looking to build a pc for semi-pro video editing (adobe products).

Thinking of using the configurator with the below build in mind. I would appreciate any advice anyone can give, as I know the basics of PC building but am certainly not a pro. Thx a lot:

Corsair Carbide 500R Midi Tower Case - Black

Intel Core i7-3820 3.60GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail

Stage 1: Overclock of CPU - 10% Overclock (Processor speed x1.10)

Asus Rampage IV Extreme Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard

Corsair Dominator 32GB (4x8GB) 1600MHz C10 Quad Channel Kit

2X KFA2 GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GDDR5

Intel 330 Series 120GB SSD

Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM

Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Sound Card with built in Headphone AMP

Corsair Professional Series AX1200 High Performance 1200W Modular 80 Plus
Gold Power Supply

I wouldn't bother with the overclocking, you'll end up doing a bigger overclock anyway, and we can help you on the forum to overclock! Also the sound card is PCI, you'll need a PCIe one with that motherboard, so the DX or DGX. The power supply is overkill, the graphics cards probably are too and you'll get a lot of heat with that, i'd just go with a 670.

Plus the PSU is way overkill. Max of 750W is what you need for SLI.

The only other sound card they have in there is a little expensive, you had probably call them up instead.
