Go with a ATI video card even though I personally like NVIDIA better there seems to be less issues with ATI using VirtualDJ than NVIDIA. An ATI X1050 or better should be good enough for Video.

If you are going to do video get ATI . They have a set of cards called HD which decode HD video and have dual heads one that will output HD video. They have also releasing a AIW card again which will allow you to watch and record HDTV. Look here for details.

Too many users have had problems with DX10 cards, Virtual DJ and Windows XP. If you don't mind Vista, ATI's HD4850 series cards are superb for their value, the HD3850 isn't bad either.

Agreed and with the fan Fix the card doesnt run hot!!!
Since u are building a computer with high specs, I would go with Vista.
