Any PC geeks out there

I'd go the Nvidia 7800GTX if I were you, assuming it's got 2 x DVI and all that. It also won't make any difference if you run 4 x 512mb or 2 x 1024mb memory sticks, except that in the future your upgrade path will be restricted.

If you're simply video editing, you'll also find that Intel dual core processors have a slight speed edge due to their architecture. For nearly everything else though, a AMD64 system is the way to go.

In my experience, Gigabyte motherboards have always been very stable and feature packed, but lack 'expert' options like overclocking. If you're not interested in any of that, it's another alternative.

Everything else looks good, though if you can wait a week, the Pioneer DVR-110 comes out, which writes DVD-RAM unlike the DVR-110D, and has (potentially) better hardware with means a (potentially) higher quality burn, important in a video editing machine. Make sure you stick with the Pioneer drives though...!

Edit: Make sure you keep the DVD+-RW's firmware updated! The DVR-110D already has an update...
