Well check out my guide for more things but... This would be a general layout for your kind of build.

Not the 2600, but still it's basically the same chip just with unlocked multiplier, the comparison would be pretty similar.

Thanks for the info. Any input on a video card?

2600 has integrated graphics. The good thing about it is during Transcoding and editing, Quick Sync, works out if you don't have a dedicated graphics card. I don't usually recommend H67 but only the H67 chipset uses quick-sync and in your case you don't require a dedicated card, so that's why I recommend it.

I'm considering spending a little more and going with the 2600k and the p67

If I went with the items below and added a p67 mobo when they become available, any recommendations on a video card? Mostly I'll be doing video and photo editing on this machine.

If you get a P67 board you won't be able to take advantage of quick sync. Plus you don't even need to waste money on a dedicated card. Also if your not overclocking what is the point of P67 and a 2600K?

The article you liked says that "Intel’s Quick Sync transcode is only supported by two applications: Cyberlink’s Media Espresso 6 and Arcsoft’s Media Converter 7"

I don't plan on overclocking, but I guess if I got the p67 and 2600k, I would have that option in the future.

There are 7 programs that make use of quick sync.
* Arcsoft MediaConverter
* Arcsoft MediaImpression
* Corel Digital Studio
* CyberLink MediaEspressor
* CyberLink PowerDirector
* MainConcept
* Roxio Creator

That's is actually incorrect. If you bought an H67/P67 you would have the option of future chip upgrades (Z68). So either board would support it. Plus H67 has ATX boards, just not currently because of the releases in america.

EDIT: OH I just understood what you meant, which was that you'd have the option to overclock in the future. If you want that option then P67 is the board for you. But with P67 comes the cost of Quick Sync. All your choice. P67 you'd have to get a dedicated card since it doesn't allow you to use the onboard CPU graphics. Or at least I don't think it can.
