| 805533 | 2009-08-30 23:59:00 | Am wanting to get a fairy high end PC – use Pinnacle Studio quite a lot. Will wait until W7 is official and go with a 1TB HDD. What about RAM, processor and video card etc? Looking at spending about $2500 (PC only – no monitor etc). Thanks |

| 805536 | 2009-08-31 05:02:00 | If anything will speed up the PC, a Solid State Disk will, So, I'd go for the new i5 platform, integrated graphic etc, but with SSD c: drive and storage on the 1TB | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 805537 | 2009-08-31 05:09:00 | Yeah, definitely an i7 or i5, 6GB RAM, Win7 x64 and a SSD for the OS drive. You could always grab a basic graphics card if you wanted, 4650 or something like that, I put one in a new PC today and was quite impressed with it considering it's worth just over $100. This PC would move along quite nicely and be great for video work...
