Video ram will not help that much to be honest, I have 512MB of ram in my video card and it does what it is suppose to do, My mates machines which is over specced have a ATI card in with 1GB of VDDR4 ram in and yet he notices no difference than when he had a older card in it.
That would be a surprise to me. Certainly any software using DXVA should be using it.
what makes you think that the LG monitor is better than a BenQ for video editing?
Like I said, colour calibration. Regrdless of the LCD screen, most of the control is done by the electronics. I've seen plenty of Benq and they have fairly basic OSDs.
the system I put together is made to last a few years, not for 12 months and then you have to think about updating again.
The spec of yours is inferior to the one I put together, so it would need updating sooner. You are basically sacrificing core spec for the ability to add 2+ graphics cards and a bulldozer chip. Pointless imo.
The PSU will take what ever I can throw at it if it lasts. I had a 450watt PSU from Corsair, It was just below what I needed and the machine would crash when ever the CPU started to render.
You had a faulty PSU then. Without a graphics card, even a fully loaded PC would not need more than 500W. And by fully loaded I mean 4+ hard drives and fans all over the place. Even a hexacore CPU will only use 140W max.
