PC Upgrade for Video editing / Ipod /Web use

[C-B]

Dear all any help for me on this subject after looking at your replies to other threads, would be much appreciated.

I want to upgrade my PC for use with my DV camera / Ipod / Web and also want to use 64bit technology. I want it to be fast ie use the fast memory type eg kvr533d2n4/1g with the option to upgrade memory to 4Gig. Have come up with following so far; what are your thoughts?

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI
CPU - AMD ATHLON 64 300 + 1.8Ghtz ADA3000DIK4B1
HARD DRIVE - HITACHI DESKSTAR T7K250
MEMORY - kvr533d2n4/1g

Intending to use my existing box and power supply if possible, along with existing screen and mouse / keyboard/hard drive/floppy drive.

Use Apple Ipod and therefore need to download. Comes with a message when I do, that it would be faster with USB2. So I will need all the up to date ways of connecting my Ipod; and also my DV camera.

Will I need to upgrade my case to get USB2 sockets etc / enough power?

I will use a computer shop to buy the equipment and install it all and ghost my information across.

Probably looking at £500 all in for the above. Is that enough (hope so!!)

Any thoughts much appreciated!!

Regards

Tony

Is probably overkill, you can save your money by gettin the Ultra version

MEMORY - kvr533d2n4/1g

Wont work with an AMD machine. AMD only supports DDR memory. if you want DDR2 go Intel

For what you're doing its a pretty fair tossup between AMD and Intel (i think id personally go Intel but its still fairly close) ... have a look at the CPU 101.

Would like to stay with AMD for 64 bit technology

What memory would you advise, as I have read about multi threading? / dual threading?
