Hi. I am looking at building a system for video editing (Adobe CS3). Actually this is the first time I am building a system. I have needs of:
a) transferring/capturing HD/SD from camera
b) video editing and rendering (using Premiere/After Effects)
I am planning to go with 4GB memory.
Based on my budget I am considering Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Energy Efficient 95W edition Socket 775 (2.40GHz) G0 Stepping L2 8MB Cache OEM
I am hoping this will provide me a much better processing than my current laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000/1.73ghz/2GB/ATI Mobility x300 w128MB dedicated memory).
Besides the usual components, I am not sure what kind of motherboard would be best suited for the processor (for video editing) and what video card I should go for (please bear in mind I cannot afford very expensive video cards at the moment. I may install a high end one sometime down the line).. Please find below what I have on my shopping list (I would be grateful if you could point out if I have missed something -- including cables, heatsink, screws etc).
