I am a beginner, plan to do AVCHD video editing on adobe photoshop & premiere elements 10. I have a Canon VIXIA HFS10, with solid state memory that I will need to download to the computer. Also will need to download about 40 digital Mini-DVs from a series of Canon ZR20 & ZR35 video camera's I had before they bit the dust. Was wondering if someone could help me with designing a system that would work well and stay under $2000. I figure why spend more when I am a dad doing this in his spare time for the kids.
I have been reading "The Video Guys do it your self builds, and have been thinking about the DIY8 Budget Build below.
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP - $339.99
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - $159.99
Pioneer Black Blu-ray Burner SATA BDR-206DBKS - $99.99
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $199.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit - $139.99
Intel Core i7-960 Bloomfield 3.2GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601960 - $289.99
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL - $74.99

Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - $139.99
Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case - $114.99
Questions I have is this the right strategy? Would it be better price/performance wise to use 128G SSD for the operating system - with one 7200rpm data drive? or use ssd, data drive, render drive? Will the money I am putting into the GPU be better used elsewhere? Any help would be appreciated. Keep in mind it would be good to target about 1600, so I can use the other 400 for a decent monitor. Thanks in advance for your help.
