Hello guys, my friend needs a new computer, and it would be great if I can get some suggestions as to the parts I picked. He will mainly be using the rig for for video editing, and he has about $800 to work with. (He needs all the peripherals)

ECS 755-A2 v1.0 Socket 754 SiS 755 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $44.00

I saved him $70! But then I think he needs the OS so.. :D
 
If he's serious about video editing, the extra L2 on the A64 will come in handy, maybe look at a 2800+, not that much more.
