Hi Guys, I need to replace my 2005 HP PC with something new and I almost purchased this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009T7J9D4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE This is an Asus which has all the good specs, but it can have 8GB RAM maximum. Then I did some reading on the web and found that some claim that 8GB is not enough for editing video with Premiere. So I started to look for components for building my own system, it would look like this: motherboard <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=mainboard&articleId=1003832&kind=pcBuilder>MSI Z77A-GD80 processor <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=cpu&articleId=965957&kind=pcBuilder>Intel® Core i7-3770 Graphics card <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=graphicscardPCIe&articleId=1012954&kind=pcBuilder>MSI N620GT-MD2GD3/LP Cooler fan: be quiet! Shadow Rock PRO RAM <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=ram&articleId=1011703&kind=pcBuilder>Corsair 32 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit SSD 500GB <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=harddiskSSD&articleId=1037875&kind=pcBuilder>Samsung MZ-7PD512BW 3TB hard drive Seagate ST3000DM001 Blu-ray <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=bdr&articleId=943604&kind=pcBuilder>LG BH10LS38 Power supply <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=powerSupply&articleId=1012052&kind=pcBuilder>be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 550W case <http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/information/pageBuilder.html?className=pccase&articleId=942558&kind=pcBuilder>Antec Performance One P-280 OS Windows8 Pro 64bit All very nice but this set will cost me 2000 euro which is 3 times the price of the Asus computer. The MSI motherboard has a Firewire and Thunderbolt connector which is nice but not really neccessary (I can also transfer files from my Apple to my PC over my network) and the MSI has tons of PCI connectors which I'll never use, so basically I'm only buying this set because I want more than 8GB RAM. Having tons of RAM and SSD is nice and everything will work a bit faster but I'm getting an old farm and with the age, comes patience, I don't mind having to wait 30 minutes for a video to render, I can just do something else in the meantime, or sit outside staring at my trees while enjoying a beer or coffee. So my question to you guys is... would I be allright with this cheaper Asus for the next 3 years, able to work with Photoshop and Premiere in CS5? That's the version I'll stick with or a while. Is 8GB enough RAM or not? Another option I have is to buy the Asus now and replace it's motherboard with one that can have 16GB RAM. Strangely all the Asus motherboards that have the same chipset as this PC and can be bought individually can have 16GB of RAM so the motherboard used in this PC must be a very exotic one, or crippled on purpose, but those alternative Asus motherboards cost less than 100 euros.
