hi guys,
im trying to upgrade/build a good comp for video editing/special effects + some 3d rendering using these programs (adobe AE, Sony Vegas Pro, 3d MAX).

first off , i was wondering what motherboard would be solid for me.i will be running windows 7 and i have a clarkdale core i5 650 atm but was planning on upgrading to an i7 sometime in the future. maybe doing a little overclocking as well. ihave 12gb of corsair ddr 3 ram so i think a dual channel 4 dimm slots shopuld be enough. and i also have a PNY gtx465 originally bought for gaming but i think will suffice for my little projects.

so im looking for something thats will work with my i5. that will be compatible with ugrades to future components. i dont have too much money, i was looking for something in the $150-$200. if u guys have any ideas on what would be a good mobo or what changes i should make let me know thanx!!!

Wait are you saying that you have 4gb ram sticks?
If not 4 dimm slots is not enough for 12GB ram.

i have to 2X2gb sticks + 2x4gb. u think that will be enough? would it run better with 16gb of ram? 4x4gb?
