Alright, well I'm not gonna recommend you specific names, but I'll tell you what to look for.

1 - If you're looking into becoming a full time editor, get yourself a video card that can handle alot of mediums. I.E : Analog capture, DV capture, S-Cable, etc. Dual monitors support, etc. I think the most popular one out there for this type of stuff is the ATI all-in-wonder

2 - For editing, its simple. Get yourself a TON of Hardrive space, and by that I mean AT LEAST 500 gb, get yourself the highest CPU u can find, preferably a multi-threader, minimum 512 mb of RAM (the more RAM you get, the less time you'll waste when working)... lets see, am I forgetting anything? Oh, audio card of course. Unless you intend on mixing your own shit and creating music, just get something standard. Nothing too fancy.

I haven't shopped around for a system lately, so I don't know whats out and what the prices are. So if anyone has suggestions to make, its an open forum! Go ahead
