    Hello,

    here is my new PC for working in CS5 AAE, PREMIERE, CINEMA4D…
    What you think?:)

    [b]MB[/b]: MSI P67A-C45
    [b]CPU[/b]: Intel Core i7-2600K, 3.40GHz
    [b]CPU freezer[/b]: Coolink Corator DS
    [b]RAM[/b]: Kingston 8GB (Kit 2x4GB) HyperX Blu 1600MHz DDR3 CL9 DIMM
    [b]VGA[/b]: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 570,1280MB GDDR5
    [b]PSU[/b]: Seasonic M12II-620 620W
    [b]SSD[/b]: Crucial SSD m4 128GB 2.5” SATA 6Gb/s MLC
    [b]HDD[/b]: (Storage/output): Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB HDD

    I think one SSD 126GB (OS, PROGRAMS)
    and 1 HDD 1TB with (STORAGE) will be fine, no ?:)

    Please tell me your opinion 🙂
    Thank’s a lot!

    Building computers isn’t my bag, but I can certainly tell you that 8Gb of RAM is about the minimum you’d want to have for a 64-bit O/S and the programs you mentioned. If you can’t afford more RAM now, at least make sure you plan for upgrade … for example, filling your slots with 2Gb sticks that would become trash in order to upgrade would be a bad idea, but you should be fine with two 4Gb sticks that you can add to.

    Need MOAR RAM!

    Also, I tend to prefer having 3 hard drives – the OS drive with proggies, a fast and large drive for media and project files and a third for disc cache and rendering to. This prevents any bottlenecks, but might be overkill in some people’s minds.
