HELP! $1400 Budget,BUILDING PC 4 vid editing+dvd duplication
im building a comp for my friend who will be doing the video editing/ dvd duplication for a record label i just started recently... SOME1 HELP PLEASE ... i got 1400$ to spend, and ive been reading up lots but the more i read the worse off i am ... very confused right now ... this is what i want the comp to look like ... 3 or 4 - 16x dvd burners, a dual core processor - intel or amd - whatever is best for video editing, at least a gig of fast ram to start but i want to be able to upgrade to lots more soon when money starts coming, dont have a clue on what kind of video card i need, but as far as i know i dont need a card that makes resolutions for video games better, i need a video capture or video editing card, i think i read that those are dedicated to encoding mpeg and mpeg 2 and greatly speed the process of rendering video up ... which is what i want to accomplish, im not to worried about hard drives right now, i can get more and bigger hard drives later, i have NO clue on what kind of motherboard to get at all, i know i want to be able to upgrade bigtime and soon, im reading that pci express is the new thing, so im guessing i want that, and im seeing sata hard drives and the word raid all over the place so im guessing thats the way to go, i know with al this junk im gonna need a big power supply, im building from the ground up for the first time so any help is apreciated, so far ive been on pricewatch and new egg and tiger direct, ive heard that its not best to go with the cheapest parts but to go with known and proven brands like asus gigabyte, and kingston for ram, but im pretty lost, dont have a clue about what kinda fans i need or the cables i need and if i can use old cables off of some dead pentium 3 comps that are laying around, what kinda tower i need for a bunch of burners ... so thanx in advance for the advice
