JEShort01 Mar 6, 2013 6:20 PM (in response to GraphiteGal636)GraphiteGal,
Your system is quite strong overall, and your 25th Anniversary gift 30" sounds pretty sweet, but you do have two weak spots in the "balance" for a top notch Premiere Pro rig.
Most importantly, you should get a nVidia GTX video card to support the MPE (Mercury Playback Engine) capability. You do not need a Quadro and a GTX 670 or something similar would be a great fit for your other components.
Secondly, but WAY less critical, 32GB or even 64GB of RAM would help some with render speed. It would also help a lot with After Effects, but you did not state that you use it now.
Regards,
Jim

Bill Gehrke Mar 6, 2013 6:41 PM (in response to JEShort01)Jim, the suggestion of the GTX video card would possibly defeat the ideal monitor that she has, I could not quickly find the spec but that monitor in all likelihood is a 10-bit monitor and unless she is willing to give up on that the 8-bit GeForce GPU's are not a choice. We do not know if that is an option

GraphiteGal636 Mar 6, 2013 7:04 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)Yes,correct Bill. It is a 10-bit P-IPS monitor. and yeah the quality blows me away, everything looks stunning on it and it has pin sharp text, which is a must for me really. what would the difference be in 8-bit and 10-bit?
Yes I have looked at cards both the Quadro orNVIDIA GTX 6XX series. and memory upgrade.
what I will do tomorrow when I get back on my PC, is do that benchmark.
thank you all for your help so far.

GraphiteGal636 Mar 6, 2013 7:08 PM (in response to JEShort01)No I don't use AE at present because I don't know how. That is my next goal!
so yes plan to use in the future but concentrating on PPro at moment. and Prelude. I'm ingesting and logging hundreds of clips of raw footage and generally tidying all my drives up.

Harm Millaard Mar 7, 2013 12:57 AM (in response to GraphiteGal636)With that 10 bit monitor, the most logical video card would be the Quadro K5000.
