Hey All,
I wanna buy a new work PC, was wondering if you guys could help me spec one out. I wanna use it for video editing and 3d.

Actually, go on - buy a PC.

How much can you afford? Add $1000.
Then wait a year and buy that model.

Dell refurbished if that's all you can spend.

yeah you'll prolly need to go the refurb route. $1000 for a work-horse? You sure that's all you can afford?

no prob,
if you into Video editing and 3d, first thing of importance is the video card. I'd recommend this one as the best feature/performance/price option:

build it it your self, then you can get qaulity parts. i built mine for about £300 plus monitor, was pretty much the highest spec possible a year ago.

When will people understand that most of the 3D video card features don't improve your 2d applications. 3D rendering (games) is not the same as 2D rendering (GIU/video).
- fate0
Mick, it's still RAM dedicated to graphics rendering alone.
- Mick0
My point was that a card designed for 3D graphics rendering would not be as good as a dedicated video editing card.
