Input on building a PC - buddy lenzin - 10-04-2011
Good to know ^
I just want a kick ass RELIABLE rig for Photoshop, some video editing and 3d rendering. I really want to get back into Maya.
Shit I just rebuilt my system not even 2 years ago and it's complete POOP right now.
This is what I am running right now.
Microsoft Windows XP
Intel(R) Core(TM)2Duo CPU
E8400@3.00GHZ
3.00GHz, 3.25GB of Ram
GeForce 9800 GT
... and it a big pile of crap that cost a pretty penny at the time...

Yeah, that's a toaster.
I kept having that happen to me. I would build a machine, 2yrs later it was dogshit.
I made the switch and have not looked back.

Keep in mind, there is a sweet spot between mid-range and high-end components that normally offer a great bang for buck. The absolute highest-end components normally come at very high premium compared to their actual performance benefit.
Here's the invoice for my last (and current) build from newegg 8 months ago or so:

Plus Laptops aren't really #1 choice for video editing programs to be used on.
