You will have NP running it with your pc specs. U need nothing more then a KB and a mouse but I'm currently using a saitex stick atm with sbpro pe.(lil green w envy bout your TM!) I haven't tried my ch pedals with the latest version so idk if they will work. I can tell u that it does support matrox thtg. I've been running three monitors for surround vision and it absolutely rocks! that being said all of your questions can be answered @
