Hey, really sorry to ask again but after asking advice on my build and mulling it over I have decided to throw a bit more cash in the direction of my PC (so easy to do!)

I am going to be using an Nvidia Quadro Graphics Card and my system will be used for freelance video editing and compositing and a bit of everyday stuff too, the card won't arrive until (at least) next payday so I was hoping that the below would all work with the processor's onboard graphics for playing around and getting things up and running smoothly until then.

Here goes!

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

Asus P8Z68-V LX Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W '80 Plus' Power Supply

Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (0F10383)

BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black

Samsung SH-S222AB/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

I already have two of:

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Sitting here waiting to go in (so 16Gb in total)

So will all of this work together? And will I be able to use the computer with its in build graphics while I set everything up and wait for my big graphics card? Any spec suggesting/changes are more than welcome but my budget is getting tight now so no room for upgrades!

Thanks again! Hopefully I will be heading to Overclockers at the weekend if this all looks good to you guys!

Cheers,

Jonny
 
Cheers, super fast as always! Ok I have made those couple of changes to my basket and feel much better about buying it now I've had a more experienced eye look over it!

I don't suppose you have any experience with the onboard graphics on the i5? I was just wondering what I can expect it to be able to do while I wait for my new card?

The software I will be using is designed around the Nvidia Quadro range and is supposedly not compatible with any others, I'm guessing that this isn't 100% true but seen as it isn't really going to be used for games I figure that it is best to do it as they suggest now rather than risk things not performing as well as they could when it is all up and running.
