OK guys
After all your knowledges and advices that you share with me I have set this configuration.
Will this machine let me work properly with DPX seq from HD SR 4:4:4 ???? As far as I know 12/15 MB/frame.

# Quad Core ( How much Mhz ? ) If you think 8core just tell me.
# 8 GB of RAM If you think 16 GB RAM just tell me.
# Proper MotherBoard
# 1TB of storage of SATA RAID. May be RAID 5
# Nucleo Pro
# Nvidia Quadro FX 1500. ( it may be higher if you tell me it is not enough )

Monitor ( 2 options )

# 1 Standard PC Monitor 21'
# 1 HD PC Monitor 24'

or

# 2 Standard PC Monitors 19'
# 1 HD PC monitor 24' with HDMI imput
# Blackmagic intensity Pro

Thanks for All.
If you know some others professionals from the industry that may help with my tons of doubts, don't hesitate of sending this email.

I would say that 1TB isn't enough if you're working with HD and DPX sequences exclusively.

Nucleo Pro is fine, but not necessary in my opinion.

That graphics card is overdoing it, you can use something cheaper.
