Is that $4500? That's quite a sum. For that (£2000) I could build a real cracker of a system. I would suggest you look at a quad core cpu, especially for video. So you need to find a mobo to handle that. Also make sure the mobo will take DDR3 RAM, although you'll only need DDR2 for now. You'll need a case with good air flow/fans and a strong PSU. Don't skimp on the PSU - a cheap one may look OK but will not give anywhere near the power you'll likely need. Use Antec or Enermax or similar.

If you post some suggestions, I'm sure those more experienced at this than myself will be able to guide you.
