First timer - Can you please give this a lookover?
Last response: in Systems
I'm not using this for gaming. It's for basic (for now) HD video editing (AVCHD).
Should I go with 16gm Ram? Any other recommendations?
Budget about $1,000.
Thank you, everyone, for your insight. There is a hell of a lot to learn and my experience has only been with upgrading RAM, replacing a power supply, etc.

Should I go with 16gm Ram? yes ![:)]( ":)")
2x8GB
btw if you learn about adobe premiere optimization, gtx 6 series isnt suitable for rendering as its cuda core is actually weak
atm, gtx 5 series has the crown for CUDA performance for mercury playback engine. in premiere/AE
pro guy will stick with gtx 560 Ti or 550 Ti![:)]( ":)")

Since I'm in Jersey, I can hit MicroCenter and get a great deal on the i7!
As far as the CUDA performance, am I correct that it will really only make a difference if I go with Adobe Pro but not a hobbyist program like Adobe Premiere Elements 11, Cyberlink PowerDirector, Sony Vegas, etc? If so, getting the gtx 5 series still helps me "future proof" my rig and also be fairly powerful for these other programs. Right?

Well here is a 570 build so you should get pretty good CUDA performance
I also found this very cheap 570 but reviews (newegg ones) say it has a loud fan (from micro centre too)

There a couple of 560ti around the same price if you are worried about power consumption
