Depends on what you are considering a "pro graphics card"; I don't mean go out and buy a top-of-the line dual-gpu render card, just look toward a card that is designed for professional NLE. You can have the biggest, baddest, fastest monitor on the planet but if your are pairing it with a $49.95 gaming card.... As far as the HDD bottlenecking, that depends on your setup. You would be amazed how much HD editing can bog down a system.
