I think your CPU should be fine and the Quadro K2000 is an excellent choice.

The Quadro is a professional line of graphics cards for video editing. They are a bit on the pricey side with the one you mentioned starting at $419.00 at Tiger Direct and $429.00 at Newegg and B&H Photo. The B&H site has some good details on the specs. The links to those three sites are listed below.

Corel VideoStudio Pro X 6 also Micro Soft Movie Maker nothing fancy, I have a lot of my girls 20 years ago playing softball and soccer, vacations etc. most was converted to cd's off of film and the quality is bad but I can't do nothing about that. I am retired and on fixed income and it takes awhile to save up, I will have $400.00 shortly and thought the video card was the way to go. I hope I am in the right place on this form. I answered on the 11th but I don't see it here, Thank You for your time.

Corel does not list specific recommend graphics cards but do recommend ATI or Nvidia cards with at least 512MB of RAM. This link - http://corel.force.com/index/articles/en_US/Master_Article/Choosing-an-optimum-setup-for-HD-VideoEditing-in-VideoStudio?applicationSubCategory=VideoStudio&itrkid=KB_link_SupportHome_allEN&keyWords=supported+graphics+cards&lang=en_US&productSubCategory=VideoStudio+X6&productTopCategory=Corel_Products&sb=new&topicCategory=All&source=kba - is about choosing an optimum setup for HD editing in Corel VideoStudio.

Since I don't do gaming it was suggested that a Quadro K2000 card might be better, do you have any information on this line of workstation graphic cards?
I started out after a R9 280X card but none are available and I am not sure that is the way to go. Now I don't know if my GTX 480 is what's holding me back or if it is something else. I thought the I7-975 3.33GHZ Extreme CPU would still be enough for what I need even though it is 4 years old now. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time, I am buying the k2000 from Egghead, they have a $50 rebate and I have dealt with them for years. When or if I ever get the money for a new computer I will upgrade the video to the Quadro Kepler 4000 or 5000 board. Thank You again for your help.
