Video editing consists of:
60% Sony Vegas. This means a huge amount of previewing (pre rendering) which I know takes RAM. You set how much RAM you want Vegas to use for pre-rendering.
20% After Effects. Main use of RAM here is having many compositions open simultaneously and rendering for hours on scenes with different types of blurs and effects.
10% 3D Modelling and Rendering. New to 3D, but if I ever want to go in that direction, I might need the extra RAM. I don't entirely know how RAM is used for 3D programs.
10% Rendering. I use high profile rendering programs such as MeGUI for final productions and encoding. I encode 2 pass x264(h.264) for almost everything, and that needs a very fast CPU for better times. How much the amount of RAM I have would make a difference, I don't know.
They all have their individual needs for RAM. I think 6GB is fine for now, but whenever I need to upgrade, I will. And by then 12GB would be cheaper anyway, so it would probably be the best option. I just don't want to bottleneck the computer from stock.
Also, I'm looking at the power usage I will have. PCSpecialist say the PC will generate 758W. Do you know if that is load, idle, or average? I imagine load, but could be wrong
