  1. What are you editing? 5 minute 720p clips, or 4K movies? Also, what are you editing for? What are all the programs you will be using?

     

    Things I would change regardless:

    • 4960x is overkill, get a 4930k if you need that kind of power
    • Overkill motherboard
    • Need a better cooler
    • Need IPS monitors
    • 64GB of RAM may be overkill
  2. Ok, are hertz on a monitor like the max FPS you can get on the monitor before you see no difference in the game?

    Yes, if a monitor is 60Hz, you can only see from 0-60FPS, anything above that is wasted and may cause issues. Same with 30, 75, 120, 144, 240, etc. It's not displaying those extra frames at all, it just shows 60FPS regardless.

  3. Hotspot shield if you want free, but keep in mind that a free VPN won't provide nearly as much protection and speed as a paid one. You should just cough up the money for a paid VPN, it's really worth it and they aren't too expensive. I can recommend Private Internet Access, it's only $40 USD a year.

  4. Installing OS X won't cause a performance decrease in Windows, only less drive space. There is a performance decrease in OS X compared to Windows. You can dual boot Windows and OS X. Please post your full system specs, as Hackintoshes require very specific hardware to run properly. You also might want to ask over at the Tonymacx86 forums, they will most likely be more help than us as this is mainly a PC forum.

  5. It will work, but it will be pretty sluggish. I would recommend something like an i5 or maybe even an i7 if you can save up to afford it. As for the editing tools, Paint.net for picture editing (GIMP is good too), and Windows Movie Maker are my favorites. Paint.net gets the job done for most editing tasks like cropping, changing color tones, adding text, etc, but for anything intensive, you might want to use Photoshop. WMM is fine for basic editing, but you can't do many effects.

  6. You cant ??

    Eyefinity is for AMD cards, Surround is for Nvidia cards. You can't use Eyefinity on Nvidia, and you can't use Surround on AMD. They're both the same concept of running 3+ monitors to act like one very wide monitor in games, but have some slight differences.
