Hi guys,
I'm looking to build a computer, just general computing, but will also need to handle some video editing (which I have never done before, but its time to get my HDV off those tapes!).
Any comments on the below system. I am particulary after comments on the 2 choices I'm yet to make regarding the mobo and video card.
Thanks!
Steve
