First of all hi to everyone - long time lurker however first time poster. I hope that you can give me as good advice as you seem to provide for everybody else.
I am looking for a Motherboard/Processor/Heatsink+Fan/RAM to stick in a case I already have which will be suitable for capturing video through firewire (and eventually through a BlackMagic Decklink card). Therefore the motherboard must have firewire and for now on board graphics as I never game but would like the facility to put something better in in the future should I wish to do some higher level video editing.
I have a case with a 350W PSU (I assume as I'm not running a serious graphics card this will suffice?) and DVD and HDD (running XP Pro) already. Looking at a spend of about £200
This is what I put together from reading the other posts on the forum. Does it sound ok? Will the motherboard support 1394?
4GB Corsair (2x2GB) TwinX XMS2, DDR2 PC2-6400 (800)
Intel Pentium Dual-Core, E5200, Socket 775, Wolfdale Core, 2x2.5 GHz, 2MB Cache
Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H
Scythe Ninja II Heatpipe Cooler
Many thanks in advance
