I know this is a little odd, but I post here a lot and talk about apple products alot, but I need help.
My work is willing to buy me a video editing rig, but it has to be a PC for so many reasons. I also HAVE to use adobe cs5. As these are not areas I am familiar with (PC, Adobe) I was hoping to get some help.
The budget is 3000 dollars (after tax - 2700 before tax)
I shoot with a canon t2i.
a few questions:
1. will a dual GPU system help? (cross fire or SLI?)
2. are the new intel i7's awesome as they are made out to be?
3. am I better off with a AMD 6 core or intel 4 core? (intel 6 core?)
4. adobe says that certain GPU's are hardware excellerated like the 470's. Are the newer ones better to get?
and if you feel abitious, what would you build out of this?

) - Just pair that with a good Mobo and 12/16/24GB RAM and plenty of storage and you have a semi dream PC Editing Station
