Hello,
I´m trying to buy a new computer for Affter Efects and Video Works.
I´m thinking in INTEL i7 2600, INTEL DH67CLB3 motherboard and 16GB Ram.
Is this a good setup?
Could I have better results with other motherboard? a video board?
I´m open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
 
Take a look at this motherboard: http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=130-SB-E675-KR&family=Motherboard%20Family&series=Intel%20P67%20Series%20Family&sw=5
This motherboard has USB3 rear ports.

Consider the i7-2600K CPU (unlocked), instead of the i7-2600

16 GBs of RAM is an excellent choice

Consider EVGA Nvidia (GeForce) video cards 400 series or 500 series with 1GB memory. http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp?family=GeForce+400+Series+Family

Read all the specs and do a good comparison of performance Vs price before you decide.
