my possible build:
mobo: ga-h55m-s2v (I've read some success here on it...would like more feedback if possible) (if you think of a better mobo for less than $100 let me know)
graphics:
either
evga geforece 9500 gt 1gb ( i saw it compabtible but with galaxy brand not evga...anyone had experience with evga brand of this card?)
or
evga gt220 (the wiki note says 10.6.4, does this mean I need another card to install 10.6? or can I use the Integrated graphic of the mobo to install 10.6 & the install 10.6.4 and install the graphics card?) (is this card better than than 9500?)
any ideas for power supply I'll need? I don't want to go overkill, but want to get enough
(300w?)
CPU:
i3,i5? which is better for light to moderate video editing( Final cut studio), after effects, photoshop, illustrator, adobe premier.
would i7 be overkill?
Would like to not spend more than 100-200 for cpu
also, any ideas for low cost, but decent cases? (cable management a plus, but not absolutely necessary)
Thanks
