I had my i7 laptop stolen and need to replace it ASAP as this is how I pay my bills.
Most of my needs are editing 1080 video in Vegas, After Effects, Audition, and Photoshop. I do enjoy gaming but my work needs out weigh my gaming needs..
I replaced a busted dual core desktop with the laptop so I have a few useable parts.
I DO NOT need:
Case, hard drives, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, Win 7.
Im looking at:
Intel i5 2500k
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P
G Skill Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
ZALMAN CNPS9500
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W
Total with tax and shipping is $635
I have no clue as to which video card I should get..
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, It is getting old going over to my buddies to use his computer to work.
