I'm in the market for a new desktop pc so I thought I would get your opinions on what would fit my needs.
First off, it's going to be an all out video/photo editing pc. With software such as Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Adobe After Effects. I probably won't play games on it but there's always that chance.
Looking for around 500gb's hard drive. 4 gb of RAM. I'm thinkin I want to go with a single large sized monitor but than again I might want to go with a dual setup, so factor that in with the video card. I want to keep the laptop I have now and set it up so I can syncronize everything I do on the desktop, to the laptop. I don't think that was important but I thought I would mention it anyways. I'm thinking I want to run XP Pro. 64bit. Ummmmmm... OH YEAH, I'm gonna set my price range at $2,000.

Thank you! I very much appreciate your help!
