[QUOTE="Jmac, post: 4485077, member: 545486"] No reason not to get 64-bit unless you're running a budget system (which this isn't) ... Also, there's not a huge point in investing a ton into a graphics card, although I'd go Nvidia for CAD-related items as Nvidia performs better w/ OpenGL. For video editing, you'll want to invest more into your CPU, RAM, and Hard Drives than Graphics. On a $1000 budget, you'll have to compromise somewhere, however. I would advise the graphics and possibly the hard drive(s) as those can be upgraded quickly and easily in the future.
