...I am doing some video editing for my youtube channel and making music on it as well.
If you are doing video editing you want an SSD hard drive with firewire external (or better) for external storage AND AS MUCH RAM AS POSSIBLE>
Most of the guys here would never use more than 2GB of ram. I have 32GB of RAM why? I do video editing like the OP. I set up a RAM DISK of 24GB which i run a virutal installation of the software i use. THIS MAKES A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE!
If you don't do this kinda work, you would think a 2600K at 5GHZ with 32GB of RAM is overkill, but trust me it = hours of productivity = money.
To the OP, if you do video editing in HD, get the most amount of RAM you can fit in that bad boy. RAM is cheap these days.
