well we need to wait to find out. i would think 8gb should be easily enough for most people.

[Alice the Dreamer]

most people yes but i do a lot of photo shop and video encoding. the more ram the beter. what i want to go to college for is geting a degree in digital media with options in adobe master.

[Derbixrace]

maybe get these instead http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231486

they are 1333mhz but should make a big difference

[Alice the Dreamer]

here what i came up with so far http://amzn.com/w/OSTM6NCFS1S4 so hard to know what will be availble in the future. i like the asus x79 pro for ram, bluetooth, asus ssd cahing, and i can run 2 cards both at 16 speeds

[Derbixrace]

that is a very nice system, but start with buying PSU and CPU cooler. then we will see in the future if its worth going Z77 or X79. thats what i would do if i were in your shoes.

yeah cooler and psu first parts in my que to geting. also wich would be beter drives Hitachi Deskstar 3.5 inch 3TB 7200RPM or Seagate Barracuda XT 3 TB 7200RPM. was also told a 3tb drive will work on sata 2 even though they sata 3 drives, is that true???

i dont know which is better but i would go with the seagate one. running 2 seagates right now. one is about 2 years old and the other is 5 years old. both running flawlessly.

and yes they will work on sata 2 even if they are sata 3.

i know segates are high quality i had 2 hitachis in my pc that shorted is a beter tearm i guss. i dont know if they failed but i sal spark shoot out my wb drives. segate 3tb drive is $400 so u pay alot for them but if they are good drives id be willing

[Derbixrace]

well if the hitatchi is much cheaper then get that one. im sure they are both good.

[Alice the Dreamer]

the segate is $70 more then the hitachi. segate is a whaoping $400 for a mecanical hd but it has faster reads than the 7200rpm hitachi

$70 is a big difference, i think i'd go with the hitachi in that case.

[Alice the Dreamer]

another choice is the ASUS ROG G74Sx Laptop

[Alice the Dreamer]

thes laptops have the avandge of being beter then pc that broke but also moble. im just shy of my back breaking down till im paralized. the mobilty will be very nice for when my physical condition gets worse.

[Honey Badger]

My advice on the laptop is to get as much Warranty/Accidental Damage coverage as they offer. Spend the extra money & get 4 years of coverage if you get a Laptop. It pays for itself the first time the laptop breaks as laptop parts are ALWAYS more expensive & labor on fixing a laptop is insane.

I do agree you'd be better off with a prebuilt system/laptop.
