I'm building a new computer and so far I"vo got the Cooler Master Cosmos s 1100 case, Mod X Stream pro (500 watts) power supply, Intel Core E-8500 3.1 Ghz, Asus P5Q-E motherboard, Western digital 1-TB 7200 RPM HD and Western Digital 500-Gb 7200 RPM HD, Corsair (2X2 GB) DDR 800 memory.

I'm looking now for a video card at around $200.00 street price for HD video editing, I am not a gamer. The computer will have XP installed, I don't know if there are comparability issues with cards in this regard, Remember I'm a Rockie willing to learn.:confused: Suggestions on all components is welcome.

More cores the better, so a Quad would of been best.

I'm going for a 4850 & plan to edit footage from my HG20.

Best go to the avsforum's and look around to get familiar.

For video editing, I'd go with a Quad core, like mentioned above.

The GPU doesn't really matter all that much, it's not rendering too much, so you don't need a rendering card.

If you aren't into gaming, this card would be alright;

yeah im with Danny on this, the 9600 will be more than powerfull enough for your needs. Also i'd say if you can, get quad core.
 
Thanks for your response, I had chosen the (SAPPHIRE 100256L Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express) Maybe that's too much for editing. I will check the ones you've mentioned here.

I edited HD footage, pure 1080 resolution, on a radeon 9200, and it worked fine.

If you arent doing large 3d rendering type of work, then you wont be needing a workstation card, and any of todays card will be fine.
