| 1232397 | 2011-09-20 07:03:00 | Situation: Need a decent computer for advanced Video Editing and Design. Budget: Around $3,000. Needed: Lots of RAM (Preferably 12GB+), fast storage, and a fast CPU. GPU needs to support 3 monitors (HDMI, VGA, and/or DVI) As well as other video editing parts you think are essential. Not needed: Monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, and any other accessories. Only the tower. If you could help me with the build, please post below! :) Please note: all parts must be compatible. |

| 1232398 | 2011-09-20 07:09:00 | Are you in NZ?? Some videocards even tho they may have all the connections, dont always allow you to use all 3 at the same time. Even if theyre onboard some mobos dont support all 3 at the same time. I dont know why they put all 3 on the mobo | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

If it doesn't allow you to run three monitors off the one card at the same time, two GPU's can be used? |

| 1232400 | 2011-09-20 08:54:00 | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-iSSD Has 20 GB of fast reliable SLC SSD cache. Has 'virtu' CPU: i5-2500K (i7-2600k is better but this one would be good enough for me!) RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz HDD: WD green 2TB but anything will do if you get the iSSD MB. Don't need SSD unless for fast startup Graphics: whatever Snorkbox recommends... OS: W7pro64 |

| 1232401 | 2011-09-20 09:16:00 | Why Win7Pro, not home premium? | Greven (91) | ||
| 1232402 | 2011-09-20 09:31:00 | Depends if you want the features Pro has, that Prem doesnt have | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1232403 | 2011-09-20 09:33:00 | Why Win7Pro, not home premium? Because Pro can be obtained free from university :D |

| 1232404 | 2011-09-20 09:37:00 | Before you get too far... Give a thought to the video editting software you'll be using. Is it 64 bit? If not, is there likely to be a 64 bit revision in the near future? If not again, then the 12MB of RAM is no better than 4GB RAM. Does it support multi-core processors? No? Then revise your choice of CPU as well. |

| 1232405 | 2011-09-20 09:42:00 | And the only programs (I think), that are 64 bit, are Sony Vegas, Powerdirector, and Adobe Premiere | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Then revise your choice of CPU as well. Good points; Yes, the application software is 64-bit, and supports multiple core rendering. I'll be using professional software such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, Photoshop, and Cinema 4D. Along with some others. |
