you also dont need a super powered gpu. perhaps the 3850 which is under 200 i think.

I'm not sure on video editing but would a 2600xt flashed to a Fire GL be better? I know it out performs even the 8800GTS 640mb in CAD when its done...

Question being would it be better for video editing... Might be another option to look into.

I follow along with the rest though for sure.. Few big hard drives, raid is a GREAT idea, good dual core, quads are not even supported by most the average software for editing so you don't gain much.

2-4 GB's of ram is also a good idea, more ram the better.

For the price currently I would get like a e6420/e6750. Same chip different bus, e6750 are all G0 stepping :)

Something to consider but when you add a video card from that compatibilty list it is as expensive as my system but less powerfull ,has one less dvd burner and a cheaper case. :laugh: thats pretty close to the first system I designed until intels prices dropped.

It might be at 3.6ghz LOL!!!!

If I overclock it. My Pastor is a Geek for God and I'm sure he could mantain that easy overclock, for sure 2.9 to 3.0ghz it will do that at default voltage. Still AMD is a option, However, the difference is only 20.00 in the two.

I agree a 8600 gt 512mb should be able to handle it but it's not on the list. Check out the sound card section I cannot figure that out.

Yes but Xp will only use 2gb to 3gb and some of his stuff is to old for vista, So I did the best I could got him 2gb of DDR2 1066 , buying 2 more gb to get the extra 1 gb of ram performance seemed a waste.

I do mostly video editing with my system, and it runs great. I've done some Blue-ray. But kinda point-less for me now. Don't have a blue-ray burner, YET ;)

I use:
Adobe CS3
TMPGEnc


I can do a hour and a half movie in 1080i in 15min :D or a 1080p in about an hour.
I plan to upgrade to quad soon. And then CS4 will be out, and then i'll be able to all 6gb of ram. But by then to i'll have 8gb or more :D

and plus adobe premiere is easy to learn, if need any help just pm

yeah that.. its a typical adobe product

using/learning premiere is like going from paint to photoshop... its overwhelming at first.. vegas is more of an intermediate between powerdirector and premiere.. premiere will take a long time to learn but is extremely powerful, just like photoshop.
