case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

those parts total cost about $930 and will be great for video editing and gaming. The cpu has the sse4 for improved video editing performance.

 

Nice motherboard, but if he is doing any video work, from a camcorder, it appears the mobo doesn't have a firewire port.

 

the motherboard doesn't have one but there is one on the top of the case.

 

Where would it connect on the motherboard?

 

good point. i just looked at more motherboards and there arnet many p35 boards in the same price as this one and it would be easier to just get a firewire card.
