Upgrading PC

>>>As for your video card; it looks like that might be a nice one for all I know about them.  I went with a PNY Technologies nVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1024MB PCIe – for its ability to be hacked for use with the Mercury Playback Engine in Premiere. It’s not on the ‘list’ of compatible cards, but there is an easy hack to make it work.  You might do an internet search on the subject and see what you find and be sure to read up on the ‘Cuda Cores’ component.  That one site has a listing of the number of cores for a variety of cards and their suitability for the Mercury Engine.  This is not to be overlooked in consideration of your card decision I would say and maybe something not mentioned yet that you should be considering. <<<
