Hi Zacfx05,

I would like to add a word to help in build of PC. Here are some options for you.

CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X99-UD4 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard.
Memory: Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory.
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive.
Secondary: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive.
GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K5000.
I believe these components are best for video and picture editing. In build, MOBO is the support of SLI and CrossFire technology that means in the future you can add-on a second GPU card for performance, instead of buying a new MOBO or replacing a totally new GPU. The NVIDIA Quadro GPU is better in terms of performance, mostly used for video editing and stability in graphics and with that you can enjoy better graphics.

For better performance and for life of your system, you just add a good casing for PC and combine with a liquid cooling system on it.

Good luck.

Thanks DK_WD can you please the approximate price for those components. and the Motherboard you suggested does it have Firewire port or need to buy the adapter. will using a Xeon processor have any better performance. since this system is meant to be used in a Studio for professional purpose the budget can be pushed a little if it is justified. That does not mean to get all the costly parts. I need a very good stable balanced system.

- - - Updated - - -

the K5000 Graphics card you suggested will be around 1.2lac. if I choose that I guess my budget will be Overshooting

Hello fellow members any other suggestions ??? with prices will be great

Hi Zacfx05,

I would like to add a word to help in build of PC. Here are some options for you.
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor.
Motherboard: Asus X99-DELUXE ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard.
Memory: Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory.
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive.
Secondary: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive.
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card.

I believe these components are best for video and picture editing based on your budget. In MOBO, there is no built-in Firewire port. You have to buy the Firewire adapter for use. The Intel Xeon CPU has different type of series have different performances, you can go with any Intel Xeon CPU; based on your budget. To buy the product, you can check the nearest computer shop or check with online retailers.

Good luck.

i7 4770 - 20k
MSI PC Mate - 8k
2x8 GB HyperXFury - 12k
WD Black 2 TB - 10k
Samsung EVO 840 256 GB - 10k
WD Blue 2x1TB - 7k

a GPU for rendering is out of my knowledge so better wait for someone else to reply on that.

i didn't notice the lack of PSU in that rig
Go for Seasonic S12II 620W as you need more headroom if you are overclocking. GS600 is fine too.

and Deepcool Tesseract will do for basic needs while 300R will be great if you can buy it.
