HI,
Thank you very much for giving attention here. I am going to buy a PC very soon, I already have a (Core2duo 2.93 ghz 1st gen) Desktop PC and a Laptop (HP Pro-Book 4530s i5 2450m and 4 GB 1333mhz RAM)
I am a student and may be a fantastic freelancer :)
I work on various types of Video editing/rendering/producing projects. May you know both of my pc (that I have) is not capable to handle professional video editing, they crying when I put some 3D effects on my project on after effects CS6.
on my lapto its takes 50-80 minute to render a 5 minute 3D video (when only few 3D effects added).
Actually my target is to do only video editing with my new PC (that I want to by). I need a PC that will be the best on my budget. Well may you need to know my budget, but Its not fixed properly. But I listed/selected almost everything that need to make my PC better for my target task, but still having some confutation,
I JUST NEED YOUR RECOMMENDATION ABOUT WHICH "CPU" & "GPU" I NEED TO BYE.
the list is below
1__CPU: INTEL i7 3770k / AMD FX 8350 (I already checked this: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-vs-AMD-FX-8350-Black-Edition)
2__GPU: NVDIA GTX 660 / 670 / 550 or RADEON HD 7950
3__MOTHERBOARD: GA-Z77X-UP5 TH (for t7) or ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 / MSI 990FXA-GD80V2 ( for FX 8530)
[PLEASE SUGGGEST ME IF THERE ANY BETTER MOTHERBOARD FOR THIS CHIPS BUT NEED PCI GEN 3.0 WHEN MY CARD (gtx660 /670 IS PCI 3.0 SUPPORTED)].
4__RAM: Not sure about brand but 8 GB 1600 mhz.
5__HDD/SSD: WD 2 TB black/blue [which is best?] for storage and may be 80 GB HDD / 128 GB SSD for OS & apps.
6__Powersupply: May be Thermaltek [what to see when buying a PSU ?]
7__Cooler: may be water cooler is not available in the local market so need to buy air cooler (may be this type of : http://www.hersheng.com/sites/default/files/iceedgemini%20a_0.jpg) like "DC-IceEdge Mini" [is this enough for i7 or FX when I want to overclock about to 4.7 ghz ?]
8__MONITOR: Just want a very good looking monitor with IPS panel and may be 21-24 inch.
So,
you know up mentioned is my listing to make a kick ass video editing machine (not want same as hp or dell work stations I know this is not that's like :( )
So, PLEASE GYES AND GALS PLS HELP ME CHOOSE WHICH CPU AND GPU i SHOULD CHOOSE FROM MY LISTING? IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT $$ I CAN GET BETTER CPU/GPU THEN PLEASE SUGGEST ME THAT TOO.
Hope you understand I need to know first that which one is best for video editing: i7 3770k or FX 8350
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
which card is best for (mainly 3D, I need to run after effects CS6 3D engine) video editing: GTX 660/670/550 or HD 7950
(you can suggest any under $350)
Then if you have time please suggest me more things that I asked upper.
Hope I will hear something tomorrow morning.
Thank you in advanced.

Answer
For video editing, the Core i7 3770K (and of course the GA-Z77X-UP5 motherboard)
The CPUBoss comparison is a little misleading. Just because AMD processors have a higher raw Ghz rating doesn't mean they're faster. Those numbers simply don't translate across different architectures- Intel CPUs are faster on a clock-for-clock basis. Even a 2.8Ghz Core i5 760 outperforms a 3.4Ghz Phenom II X4 965.
Let's look at real application performance instead:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested/3
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/fx-8350-8320-6300-4300_7.html#sect0
Although the FX-8350 has more physical cores, Intel's more advanced and efficient core architecture emerges victorious in most instances. Moreover, the Core i7 & Z77 motherboard combination allows you to utilize Intel's proprietary Quick Sync, which was introduced with Sandy Bridge.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/9
With the Ivy Bridge Core i7 3770K, Quick Sync is even better:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5771/the-intel-ivy-bridge-core-i7-3770k-review/21
The GPU- that's an interesting choice. The Radeon HD 7950 is clearly the most powerful option, if you were building a gaming rig it's the slam-dunk winner.
But video editing doesn't require a really high-end graphics card, and there's generally more widespread support for Nvidia's CUDA than AMD's Stream among professional applications. So I might be tempted to go with the GTX 660 and save $100 to be used elsewhere in the build. I'm just not sure how much having the more powerful HD 7950 would really help what you're doing. If it turns out that Adobe's creative suite really benefits, then stick with the HD 7950 (or consider Nvidia's competing card the GTX 660 Ti, which is slightly less powerful)
An SSD would ONLY be useful as a boot drive. Due to the write cycle limit, SSDs are not well-suited to heavy-duty editing applications, and should NOT be used for temporary/scratch folders or your Windows paging file- that will shorten their lifespan.
Video editing goes more smoothly when your source and destination folders are on different physical drives, so no matter what I recommend dual HDDs of 1-2 TB capacity (even if that means skipping the SSD). Reducing your Windows startup time is less important than reducing encoding times.
On the PSU, definitely NOT Thermaltake. They're a mediocre brand when it comes to power supplies- some good units, some bad ones. Thermaltake and Cooler Master are hit-and-miss in the PSU department, they aren't elite brands like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, XFX, Enermax, and Silverstone.
Here's a review of Thermaltake's TR2 RX 750W. Feel free to go through the whole thing but I'll just link the conclusion page. In a nutshell- avoid the TR2 line.

For a CPU cooler, look for a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - it's the best bang/buck air cooler on the market.

Best Laptop for Video Editing?
Becky
Hello! I edit videos with anime using programs like Sony Vegas and photoshop. But I am currently looking for a new laptop. But also stylish enough to use for school cus I don't edit 24/7 xD
Here are some preferred specs
64 bit windows 7 or 8
13 or 15 inch with 1920x1080p display (now I know a bigger screen is better for editing but I'm not really a big fan of that look and it's also a bit bulky)
8 gb RAM or higher, those programs take up alot of space!
At least 500 gb hard drive. Totally willing to sacrifice storage for speed.
i7 core processor
And I guess that's about it.
Some links to websites would be helpful! My budget is up to the $1000 range a litte bit over is no problem ;D
Answer
This HP can be customized to what you need. If you want better performance upgrade the APU to a A10 with dedicated graphics, 1080p screen and increase the ram to 8GB.

This HP can be customized to. Upgrade the Graphics to NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2048MB of dedicated video memory and a 1080p screen.

Brand buying advise
You get what you pay for. Systems with high end parts with low prices are to be viewed with suspicion. They have to cut corners somewhere to get the price down. What cost you less today is going to cost you more tomorrow.
Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.
Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. Lenovo will not allow people to read instruction on how to access the BIOS menu or to get info on their puters on their web site unless you connect to them thru Facebook. They do this so they can spy on their users. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.
Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install, you can cripple the system.
Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.
Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market. Customer service is one of many problems with this company.
Alienware are glorified Dells and are more name then product. Priced extremely high for what you get. They do perform but you can get the same for less by looking around, just not packaged to be eye candy to the gamers.
Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap, causing units to fail early. For that reason I would avoid them.
ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.
Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.
Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.
Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate.
Choose wisely.
