    Hi all,

    Brand new to here and really hoping for some good advice.

    My background is in software but hardware is like a new language. I'm looking to improve my PC for video editing use.

    Current specs are:
    Triple Monitor
    Asrock FM2A78M-HD+
    AMD A8 5600K
    8GB RAM
    OS has just been transferred to an SSD

    My mobo only has 2 RAM slots so what I'm wondering is, for video editing should I get another 8gb RAM or would a Graphics Card improve performance better?

    Render times aren't really a problem as I have no problem leaving to render, it's just the playback in editing and the general running of the programs. Currently editing with Vegas but considering the leap to Premiere Pro and AE.

    Would love your advice and any actual product suggestions are extremely welcome in addition to any other advice/system tweaks you would suggest.

    Thanks in advance all.
