The system I'm currently looking to buy very soon...
Motherboard: ASUS Intel H55, LGA1156
CPU: Core i5-650 Dual Core LGA1156 3.2GHz 4Mb Cache
RAM: 2GB DDR3-1600 Hyper-X (Kingston) *will upgrade with another 2GB later*
PSU: 550W ATX Power Supply
and of-course the Samsung P2450H LCD - 24"
What GPU would best go with this system without the CPU throttling it's performance?
I am mainly going to use this PC to run video editing software such as Adobe Premiere CS5 and play Starcraft 2 or source games such as Team Fortress 2. So I'm told Nvidia cards are better for Work & Play while ATI are mainly for games.
I'm thinking about the GIGABYTE® ATI® Radeon HD5850 - 1GB GDDR5 and the
GIGABYTE® nVidia® GeForce GTX470 - 1280MB GDDR5, or are these kind of cards way to much for the system to handle effectively?
Any suggestions will be taken thankfully
