Forum Systems : New Build Looking for advice on a video editing workstation

Word :    Username :           
 

Approximate Purchase Date: End of the month

Budget Range: 2000-2500 Canadian

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video editing, animation, 3d effect generation, photo editing, rendering

Parts Not Required: I will need everything including keyboard, mouse, monitors (I plan on using a dual monitor setup) but i don't plan on working that into my budget as i will pick this stuff up at a later date.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I would like to use newegg because they seem to have a wide selection of parts but I'm not picky.

Country: Canada

Parts Preferences: Some of the parts I have found are as follows.

Overclocking: Probably

SLI or Crossfire: I don't know what setup i should run or what cards to buy.

Monitor Resolution: More than likely I'm going to be running the highest resolution i can

Additional Comments: I am totally open to any suggestions on alternate motherboards, processors or RAM. This is just what I have come across on my own limited research. This will be my first build in a long time and i would like to do it right with the options for upgrades as time passes.
