Hi all you lovely experts, as the subject line says, I need your opinion about my shopping list for a new media PC which I intend to run Media Composer 6.5 on (and eventually MC 7), and would like to know if my configuration is good enough. You'll see I've chosen a GTX graphics card rather than the industry standard Quadro as I'm trying to keep cost down, and I hear that Avid users are successfully using GTX cards. Anyway, if someone could look over my list and give me some feedback, that would much appreciated, thanks in advance.
