Hi Everyone,
I am going to build a new system shortly that will be used for a variety of things, but it needs to be able to do HD video capture and editing. I have an HD camcorder, hours of HD video, and need a system that will handle the HD captures and editing without a problem. I have been out of the hardware game for years and things have changed SO much and I am asking for your help to figure out my final hardware list. I have done some initial research and this is what I currently have for my main system components:
