Re: Video card and OS selection, which one?

Your graphics card and video capture card will be two separate cards.

Myself, I have a preference for Nvidia versus ATI. And I like XFX, I have XFX graphics cards on a couple of PCs. I don't think I'd bother with the 9800 GT - it's really 512MB memory on board, and I don't think worth the extra cost.

The Matrox RT should be a good enough capture card for you, you could also look at AJA.

Did the link you supplied go to the defaults, or are those your selections that show up? It has a 400w power supply chosen. If you are planning on adding that much too the system, you will definitely want a minimum of 500w.

Also, editing video with internal drives causes a lot of heat. Load that puppy up with some good airflow. I couldn't tell how the airflow is in that case.
