Good day everyone,

I'm configuring a new system that will be capable to run pretty demanding programms like Sony Vegas, Adobe Photoshop, etc.

The core of the system is more or less clear:

Intel Core i7-3770K (3.5GB) s1155
2x 8192MB DDR3
2048MB PCI-Ex GeForce GTX670 Gigabyte
Gigabyte ATX 600W GZ-EBS60-C7 120mm fan, PFC, 6*SATA (not sure if the power is enough)

The only thing left is motherboard :)
Could you help me please? What would you suggest? If possible say why.
Thanks in advance!
 
What you can get really depends on your budget and your case. Is your case ATX or mATX?

If your case will an ATX board, I'd recommend one of the following boards for your 3770K depending on your budget: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H or the GA-Z77X-UD3H or the GA-Z77X-UD5H. Gigabyte's a great brand and their products are usually reliable (just be aware to update the BIOS before you do anything though on these boards) and as your 3770K is unlocked, providing you have good cooling, all of those boards would be good for overclocking your 3770K.

Hmmm, your power supply looks OK, but I would get something like a Corsair TX 650 for a 670 setup. Corsair make great PSUs, as do Antec, XFX, Silverstone, Seasonic, NZXT, PC Power & Cooling and OCZ. Get something in the 600-700W range from any of those brands.
