Help needed on spec for Mac for editing HD video

Looking for some advice on Mac spec for editing HD video.

We are looking at getting a new HD camera, the Panasonic AG-HMC151 and been told that to edit the native files direct in a programme we need final cut on a mac.

We have also been recommended this spect mac

iMac + Final Cut
24? 3.06 Ghz Intel core duo
4 Gb Ram
500Gb hard drive
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512MB video card

Final Cut Express
plus external drive to hold the native files when editing
Western Digital My Book Studio Edition 2TB/7200rpm £235 inc VAT


As we never use macs, not really sure if this is a good spec or not.

Anyone want to comment on whats best for HD editing?

Cheers

Paul
