Build for video editing

[lee123]

Hi im trying to build a computer for video editing purposes only. I will be doing no gaming at all. I am trying to keep the price fairly low but i do want to get the the best bang for my buck. For starters this is what i have chosen, i will eventually upgrade as time goes on.

1. Should i stick with the z68 chip-set or go with the p67? or which one would i benefit from the most if Im just using the system for HD editing? (note that i switch from Sony vegas10 and adobe CS5.5)
2. I know the i7 is better but will there be a great difference in performance if i go with the i5?
3. I haven't chosen a graphics card yet, Im am just curious to know which one this system will benefit from the most?

the z68 is good because you can benefit from smart response technology

if you can afford it get an i7. its about 30% on average depending on the program.

gpu wise the only route to go is nvidia. but its pointless to get anything below a 570 because most programs wont utilize cuda if its below a 570.
