Hi Guys.
I'm in the market for a brand new Desktop.
I'm looking for something that is future proof for Blu Ray burners and a nice gaming machine.
I want something i can upgrade myself and it needs to be compatible with CAP DVHS and Nero....as those 2 programs get used each day along with
HDDVDTOMPEG.
Im told Vista might have issues with the above software.
Im looking for a machine that will give me the best speed and power for under 2 grand
Also is it possible to get a low energy pc so it doesn't use massive amounts of electricity ?
I do a huge amount of video editing of HI DEF video capped from Local Channels.
I also need the machine to play x264 PAL HD
What do you guys think.?
First off should i be looking at AMD 64 OR INTEL CORE DUO ?
I asked this question 5 months ago and someone said i should wait until the summer for some new graphic cards that are coming out.

now is a good time to but as prices have just dropped, the only thing i might wait on is to see how well ati's dx10 cards fair when they come out, hopfully at the end of this month. ask in the offical pc building thread at the top of the list as they will know who have some of the best deals on and which way you should go with regards to brands and such like.
