[DJMaxG]

I am building a Desktop Computer to run Pinnacle Studio Ultimate 12.

I'm not sure what Motherboard to get.
Any Suggestions?

What:
Processor
Ram
HDD type (IDE/ SATA)
Graphics card model
What inputs do need?

[OllieJames]

My video editing PC has the Asus P6T Deluxe in it.

[DJMaxG]

Processor - Celeron M or Core Duo 2
Ram - about 4GB
HDD type (IDE/ SATA) - Whichever is standard, OEM I thought.
Graphics card model - Preferably Integrated
What inputs do need - USB, LAN, Soundcard, PS2 (integrated)

I shall be using obviously a DVD + RW or 2.

If this computer is purely for video editing; i would avoid connection to the internet. Just my opinion, saves aload of crap from getting onto your P.C.

I Agree, there's not much point really.
But as it's pretty much 'Plug and Play', I can upload videos directly.

Not sure if I'll use it for other things as well.

UPDATE
S-VIDEO CONNECTION IS A MUST

S-Video Out to connect to My LCD TV.

Are the Motherboards with everything integrated the cheapest/best option, or would you reccomend seperate cards?

[Jiggles]

I would recommend separates as the ram is used for the OS than being shared for the graphics. Plus its then upgradable! That 250 is s video out so you ok. As for i7 there poor really. i5s will be out soon there said to be better.

I'm trying to keep prices down to minimum, but don't mind spending slightly more on prime components.

We have a Geforce card in the downstairs computer, and it's fine.

I'll have a think.

I have always bought Asus or Gigabyte - they have never let me down over the last decade. The budget boards (Asrock, MSI etc) are hit or miss, and not worth the gamble for me.

Cant beat a Q6600 Over clocked to 3.5GHz :D

I rec a gigabyte board never had any issues with it, Used them for years rock solid to, You could have an internet connection and put that machine in a vlan, That way be seperate from your other machines and you could secure the vlan up nice and secure, And just allow http traffic if you just wanted to browse, Or open up ftp when you want to upload outbound
