I\'m building a desktop computer that will ONLY be used for virtualdj. I want to build a computer that will last me long without any problems and can do gigs 12hrs max without letting me down. So far these are some parts that I will put on the computer. I will be running XP pro. I will do video and i have no decided on a video card. Can someone help me pick out a video card, I want something that is not a piece of shit or the best you can get in other words i want a good video card something thats enough to run video mixing with virtual dj. For the fans I dont have a clue on what i should get but i want something that will keep the computer cool for a couple of hours in a gig. I dont know what are some good power supplies or how much i should get to run all this for a gig. how many watts should i get? what are some good brand power supplies that are at an ok price range. please help me out choose some of the parts. BTW i will be getting my parts from http://microcenter.com since it is close by.

Anyone?
 
Go with a ATI video card even though I personally like NVIDIA better there seems to be less issues with ATI using VirtualDJ than NVIDIA. An ATI X1050 or better should be good enough for Video.
 
Thanks, what should i get though directX 10 or 9, whats the difference?
 
no need to worry xp doesn't support dx10
 
Well than whats the best video card (DirectX 9) that I can get with a budget of 100 dollars? ( ATI or nividia, I herd nividia has problems?)
 
If you are going to do video get ATI . They have a set of cards called HD which decode HD video and have dual heads one that will output HD video. They have also releasing a AIW card again which will allow you to watch and record HDTV. Look here for details.

Too many users have had problems with DX10 cards, Virtual DJ and Windows XP. If you don't mind Vista, ATI's HD4850 series cards are superb for their value, the HD3850 isn't bad either.
 
good

Agreed and with the fan Fix the card doesnt run hot!!!

Since u are building a computer with high specs, I would go with Vista.
