Do you require a monitor? If so, what size? My assumption is for 1080P for streamed HD video rental? Any idea what applications for video edit an convert, some can take advantage of your GPU for rendering and conversion. It would be tidy to separate out your boot drive from your video / editing drive, and preferable again for 2 edit drive to stripe for speed. However, the question of a monitor will dent that aspiration.

Hi

I wont need a new monitor,At the moment i have a BenQ G2420HDBL

Will be watching HD stuff through Video rental as in streaming,Then just watching dvds. For converting&editing HD&non HD stuff i had been using windows movie maker and also been using Pinnacle but to be honest all my software for video editing etc is pretty old now.
