I'm building another PC and had a question on graphics cards. I am NOT a gamer by any means. I do however do a lot of video and photo editing (e.g. home movies using software like vegas movie studio....video rendering from one format to another). I always assumed the graphics cards were paramount to this process but wasn't sure. Can someone confirm?
I'm looking at something like the EVGA GTX 660. Seems to be good value but I don't want to underbuy or overbuy.
Build will be an i5 with an asus MB (not sure which) and 8GB of DDR3 1600.
Any insight is appreciated. I thought it might be pointless to shell out $400-$500 for a card given that I don't game but if it's necessary for video rendering I would then need to consider it.
