mATX build for gaming and editing (fall 2010)

[smoothee]

Hey!

I've been following this forum and blog for a while and now its time for me to try this for myself aswell!

Heres the build im looking at:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
Processor: Core i5 760, 2.8GHz, LGA1156, 8MB, Boxed
Graphics: Ati Radeon HD 5770, 1GB
Memory: Corsair 2x2GB, DDR3 1600MHz

Possibly making a dual boot comp but usage would be. Gaming and also some video/photo editing aswell and I've been wondering if i should go for a better processor or graphics card...

Also suggestions accepted for a new monitor currently looking at the Viewsonic VA2213W

Well that's a pretty decent card, but you may just want to go for the i7 if you want to do a lot of video editing. It will really help with render and exporting times. Some more RAM wouldn't hurt either, but 4GB isn't bad. It all depends on how much your willing to spend really.

I'd recommend this one:

About 80 more dollars than your cpu, but worth it for the i7
