My Future Comp...What do you think?

[JLV2k5]

Is 8GB of RAM really needed? I thought 4GB was excessive.

He said he does video imaging software and does not want to upgrade in the near future. 8gbs is fine in that case. Otherwise, yes, 4 gbs will suffice.

I'd wait for the cheaper 45nm Quads to make use of all that memory...

I agree. Your processor would likely bottleneck before you could fully use 8 gigabytes of RAM.

i wish that i could buy this computer but i would deffinately wait for the 45nm processors

Yeah he knows. Including myself everyone was recommending to just wait for the 45nm processors.

But unlike you, he has a budget

A very expensive design indeed.

I actually am going to wait now for the new CPU. I do a lot of video editing and it takes a while on my current PC to render everything. 8Gb may still be overkill but i will need to upgrade everything in my future PC. I will be running a very expensive DDR3 based RAM. After i did some more research, I found out that the liquid cooling system is quit terrible. I have the Antec P182 and it gets clustered with multiple opt. drives and HDD, not to mention the hell i went through to keep all wires away from my massive heatsink and fan. Plus I just wanted to try something new and I have money soooo...I went for that one.

seems to me he has a large budget.....and i've already built my rig, for less than $700, because i do have a budget.
