That being said, I do gaming and video editing. I work with Adobe Premiere as well as all the other products in the Adobe Master Suite. The card you listed would be ok for that, but I'd still consider getting a better card than what you initially considered. Better & faster video card means more CPU cycles devoted to video processing. You wouldn't need to do Crossfire, so you could also probably step down on the motherboard to one that just supports a single card.
Yeah I'm a putz should have posted in the OT forum not Gaming since I don't really want to game. I may upgrade the card a bit, especially because I would like to have some video inputs and this card has none nor the capability.

Yeah that is a good thing but at this point I will only have 1 old drive (I'm gonna probably keep the main boot drive from my old computer to build it into a Liunx box or something).
