Is this a good PC for editing HD video?

I'm building a PC for editing full 1080p HD video. Would this be a good choice:



AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz 6MB Cache

ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 Motherboard

4GB DDR3 RAM

Seagate 2TB 5900RPM HD

Radeon HD 4670 Video Card

700W Power Supply|||1. CPU. A six core AMD CPU should give you more raw power, so I recommend that if you could. They're pretty cheap too. But the X4 Phenom should serve you fine.

2. Hard drive is a bit slow. You'd want something faster for accessing those big video files. Go with a standard 7200rpm drive. Again, the hard drive will serve you fine but if you have the money, get a 7200rpm drive.

3. Radeon card is a bit slow. You want something faster for encoding video.|||yes and no, good yeah but bad in the way you got a slow hard drive, and you got a AMD cpu, for video editing and any program in windows any old core 2 quad will beat the crap out of it.

get a intel cpu ALOT faster in windows



(my old core 2 duo beat the crap out of my friends brand new Phenom 2 x4 955 at anything that have to do with windows, it only got beat in games)



do not get the amd 6 core cpu :P the dual core I3 beats it any many programs and after that hte i5 750 spanks it's *** over and over in the rest, amd may be cheap but in windows amd will always suck :P



the only time amd's 6 core cpu's beat my i7 920 at stocks speeds is when they are overclocked to the overkill and it just beats it, and i still run my cpu at stock :D with just 4 cores|||no it is not.

you need gpu that has cuda cores, more cuda cores a lot fester will it converting videos

only nvidia gpu has cuda cores

to use cuda cores you need to work with adobe Premiere Pro CS4 with Elemental Accelerator plugin



but if you will not going to use software which is accelerated by cuda cores with the gpu that has the cuda cores it will not matter what gpu you going to have because the converting will be done by cpu



this is new technology not many use or know.



if you are gamer recommended gtx 400 series card's

but if you are not gamer than

than nvidia quadro cards|||http://www.arbico.co.uk/Arbico-HD-i5870-…

2 x 1TB not 1 x 2TB (safty first data )

one to work on and one to store plus split the first one to 2 x 485 gb|||Add more RAM if you are running 64bit OS,
