Building Computer - Comments on Specs?
I am building my own computer through NCIX and am wondering whether anyone have any comments or suggestion of my specs. The most intense use will be for video editing as I rarely play power-hungry games on the PC. Having an abundance of space is a must! Based on the sort of use, should I swap out the nice processor for something cheaper and increase RAM? What about the choice of video card? Did I miss anything? Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated. If there are any ways to cut the cost while still getting a really nice computer that fits my needs, I am all ears!
