You are going to need a good all around system. Good Processor, Ram, and Hard drive for the Video editing, and a good gaming graphics card like the X1800XT. It isn't worth getting a workstation graphics card for this system, because the increase in video editing would be alot less needed than the major decrease in gaming performance. Have you ever overclocked a computer before?

Total: $1497 +S/H Choices: Take out XP Pro, downgrade to E6300 replace with an Extra 19" LCD +$0 roughly I also am assuming that you are going to overclock it. Anyone who builds their own computer usually gets to tinkering around with overclocking some day

I couldn't find it on newegg.com, but here's from zipzoomfly.com: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Also: Do you need an operating system? Are you going to overclock your computer? If you look for cases at Newegg.com, post links to the ones you're interested in.

Don't you think he should get something a little better than the 1800XTX?

What games will you be playing? The X1800XT will hold up to a lot of gaming, it's equal to the 7800GT.

Evga 7900GT KO
If you don't mind rebates, this is the best card (the 7900GT) for price/performance (according to Tomshardware.com), though either the X1800XT or the 7900GT would be good, the 7900GT is significantly better.
