    For a little bit more of the £££ you could get a lot better final product.

    I take it your not willing to build your own?

    Re: computer build

    I would personally not get it but look at something like this in stead

    Motherboard: Abit A-N68SV £30.24 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144452
    CPU: AMD X2 4850e £45.00 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144638
    Memeory: Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2-800 £24.57 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/98710

    Total cost: £99.81 + £3.88 postage.

    Better Motherboard, energy efficient CPU (= lower power bills) and an extra GB of memory which will come in handy when editing movie files.
