Hi,
I'm glad I found this forum, loops like a great source of information and support!
So I'm building a new machine for video editing and other tasks, I'll mostly use Adobe after effect, premiere pro, photoshop, lightroom and a bunch of audio softwares, ableton live, plugins and all.
I'm looking to get a i7-950, the motherboard is probably going to be a gigabyte ud5.. I think the evga classified is a bit over my budget, I'm not sure yet.. but I know that I want to overclock that cpu. I'm considering getting 3x4gb of ram or 6x 4gb right away... and I'd like a ssd for my operating system and current projects.
One place where I'm more confused is the GPU. I need something that will work well with adobe premiere pro and after effect cs5. Adobe says this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/opengl.html
Looks like I have lots of choice but I'm wondering which one performs the best for its price.. I'm open to both nvidia and ati.
My budget is around 200-300$ MAX and I need dual DVI
Also if you have any kind of recommandation about the other parts of my build, don't be shy.
Thanks!
