New Desk Top for Video editing

[NP11073]

Hi All,

I'm defiantly not a PC buff, I'm after some advice on what I would need to build a desk top PC for video editing, my laptop isn't very good and keeps freezing up.

I'm doing simple video editing using a basic editing program Adobe Premier Elements 7 and would like to move up to a better editing program at a later stage..

Any ideas..

Thanks..

dual or quad core CPU
1 GB (or more) DRAM
2 hard drives if you are editing uncompressed or losslessly compressed video
IEEE 1394 (firewire) port if you are using a DV camcorder
