If anything I'm considering going with a card with video capture built in (my old ATi Radeon X850XT had that built in).
I was posting that thinking you had gaming interest. Since you've stated you don't game, you can take my suggestion with a grain of salt, because that is what that card would really help in...a system for gaming.

That being said, I do gaming and video editing. I work with Adobe Premiere as well as all the other products in the Adobe Master Suite. The card you listed would be ok for that, but I'd still consider getting a better card than what you initially considered. Better & faster video card means more CPU cycles devoted to video processing. You wouldn't need to do Crossfire, so you could also probably step down on the motherboard to one that just supports a single card.
