Sorry, I was editing while you were responding. If it helps, I'm building a part time gaming, part time HD video editor with the following:

Intel E6750 Dual core CPU
Some MB, haven't decided yet...
10K hard drive for OS
7200/500G HD for media storage (may go up or add another drive later)
DVD burner
CD/DVD ROM player

On board video and audio for now to be upgraded if they don't prove satisfactory. All drives are 3G/S SATA. Case is mATX for portability and a 400W PS.

I've been playing HL2 and Doom 3, etc...

On edit, $600? Hell, I think that 8800 card is upwards of 4-500 alone! Unless it's gone way down since I last looked.
