Which video card ?

Hi all,

I'm planning a major upgrade of my PC. I will keep my two-year old Antec tower and go for one of the new dual core Pentiums with 2 GB of RAM on an AsusTek motherboard and several 500-GB serial ATA drives.

My question is : which very good video card should I consider buying ? I sometimes have to manage very large projects (like 20-40 hours of rushes for a feature documentary) which I edit on Premiere Pro, with limited use of After Effects.

I know this is a "General Software" forum and my question concerns hardware, but it's the best place I could find for the practical question I wanted to ask. I don't wanna ask on the many computer geek forums because I fear they'll recommend the best video card to play the latest game... which is not what I intend to do. :grin:

Tks a lot in advance for your suggestions.
 
Ballpark would be the Nvidia 7800/7900 series or the ATI x1800/x1900 series of cards. A lot of visual software is being coded today and in the future to take advantage of GPU as well as CPU so getting a powerful card is going to handy for things other than games.
