These are my current editing PC specs:
– Six-Core Intel® Coreâ„¢ i7-980X 3.33GHz
– 6 x Crucial 4GB PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3
– 1TB SATA 7200RPM – 3.5″ – Seagate Barracuda 7200.12
– 450GB SATA 6.0Gbps 10000RPM – 3.5″ – Western Digital VelociRaptor
– 2 x ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 (1xDVI, 1xDP, 1xHDMI)
I am working with this PC since 2010. It is a good PC, but I have stuttering preview in Sony Vegas if I set it to Best-Full. I have to set the preview to Best-Auto, in order to be able to edit.
