Im looking in to building my own computer that i will be using for mostly video editing. I have been doing alot of reasearch of my own but all of my findings can get confusing, im a noob so please barewith me. 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. I also had a few questions for video editing perpouses.

1. Should i stick with the z68 chipset or go with the p67? or which one would i benifit from the most if im just using the system for HD editing? (note that i swith from sony vegas10 and adobe CS5.5)
2. I know the i7 is better but will there be a great diferance in performance if i go with the i5?
3. I havent chosen a graphics card yet, im am just cerious to know which one this system will benifit from the most?
