If you’re going down the nVidia route then I’d suggest
something from the Quadro range. Gaming cards do little
for speeding up render times in PPro, although you
may see a difference with Open GL in After Effects.Ideally, you’ll have one card (e.g. nVidia or ATI)
for gaming and a seperate HD/SD capture card which will
hardware-accelerate all your video work, taking the
strain off the CPU. For PC, two of the favourites
include:AJA’s Xena range (recommended)

Also, consider upgrading your monitor to 24″ capable of
1920×1080. Dell and Acer are two firms which make reasonably
priced screens at that resolution. Acer are probably more
value for money, IMHO. Plus I’ve nothing positive to say
about Dell’s customer service.
