can any of you comment on my spec before I pay my hard earned wonger - I want to edit movies - not interested in gaming - so need loads of speed and space. Many are up to 1 hour and i may want to edit and combine - files can be 5 gig or more and i have .mod / .mov / .wmp / avi etc etc. I am aware one can buy some high spec component that don't actually operate at full force because they are not matched - trouble is thats all i know - can anyone give me any tips? My present 4Gb ram - intel (R) core (TM)2 quad CPUQ 6600@ 2.40Ghz just crashes what ever the software I use.

Im not an expert on video editing but I think you should up the graphics just a tiny bit but overall that seems perfect.

i think video editing usually requires quite a decent graphics card, not too sure id wait for someone who knows about that stuff, and also, i recommend getting a better case, especially if like you said, youll be doing intensive work for hours on end

id probably get something like a CM 690II with at least a triple copper cooler, if not the titan or watercooling

ditch the graphics card, definitely.


for video rendering and editing you definitely need a better one


consider radeon 69XX or geforce GTX 5XX (560 Ti 570 etc)
