non-gaming system config help

well noise is gonna be an issue, if you want a quiet pc, you gonna want to LC the cpu and gpu and ask them to use quite fans.

but ya your setup sounds about right.

the quite one you have to special order DS does not carry them, I think air is a great choice, noise reduction will trap heat also, so I'm not so sure it a great idea, I normally advise against it.

what do you think?

you can change the case to hailstorm but you will have to ask them that over the phone.

Well I was gonna go with 12GB but the option was not there for the section I was at, so waht you need to do is give that ticket number and tell them that you want that system with 12GB, and the same with raid, you need to also ask them that you want HDD2 to be 2 x 1TB in raid, again if was not an option in the section I was at.

once you get those prices, come back and let me see if the section that has the choices will give you better prices or the ones quoted are better.

Sarah is amazing, you should talk to here:

Sarah about the raid and settings it, just to be clear, notice he wants ssd for HDD1 but for HDD2 he wants the raid (2 x 1TB)and then for HDD3 he wants 1 x 1TB.

Yup that is exactly what I told him, to call you or he can email you [email protected]

for your needs a 5870 is overkill, all you need is a 5770, change your psu to corsair.

both corsair and ocz support trim but ocz does not support ahci mode.

I see DST has got you pretty well set up, just wanted to throw in my 2 cents and agree that you definitely want to go with the extra ram for video editing. You will need it.
