So, I'm going to be doing quite a bit of video editing coming up, some HD some not. Along with continuing with large resolution photos. I'm wondering what would be the best setup for this?

I'm thinking of course Quad core Intel. I'm not sure what mobo to pair this up with, and how much GB's of ram are normally mainstream for HD editing. I'm thinking of starting off with 4gb.

As for hard drive, I'm looking for at least 1tb, would it be better to go for a 1tb drive, or a raid of 500(s)?

For GFX, is it going to matter what video card I will be using? I'm thinking of a cheaper 8800.

Thanks for any input!
 
Yeh, a Q6600, 4gb RAM and perhaps a 8600 as they are meant to be better for HD encoding (or some other BS).

As for the hard drive grab some of the Seagate 7200.10's but don't RAID them.
