GPU, mobo, case and monitor spec help.

[davegriffiths]

hey guys...

my dads asked me to spec a new desktop for him, mainly for high-def video editing.

so far. ive got.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
Samsung SpinPoint F1 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2
Pioneer DVR-216BK 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Corsair VX 450W ATX PSU
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-Bit
and my old Freezer 7 pro.

what im after is..
1)a GPU that will handle the high def video. Would THIS be sufficient?
2)a reasonable mobo that can take a little overclocking of the E8400. doesnt need RAID or xfire/sli. was thinking Abit IP43/Asus P5QL pro.
3)a nice cool case. reasonably cheap. and not huuge. was thinking Antec 300
4) a 22" widescreen monitor with dvi/hdmi inputs. is THIS any good?

cheers for any help guys

sweet.

what Quad would you reccomend?

is the Q6600 as easy to overclock as my E8400? im looking for about 3 ghz from it..

cheers

ok.. so i made the order.

went for a BFG geforce 9800gt in the end.

along with a p5q pro and the Q6600

he decided not to bother with an LG blueray drive, so i put a bit more into the gpu and mobo.

i also ordered a Samsung 2233 monitor for him.

cheers for the advice
