if you want an AMD then you should get an athlon 64 and a socket 939 motherboard (sorry i dont know which ones are good)
get a cheap graphics card, a 9600 can be had for about $100(ish) and will do well for the next few years.
if your doing video editing you may want to get 1gb of memory and run a RAID0 hard drive array. i would run 2x80GB RAID0 with the data backed up onto another drive of about 160GB.
dont get a prescott P4 as they arent as fast as the northwood.
if you plan alot of vid editing it may be worth looking at the p4.
dont worry about pci express. it wont matter for a while yet.
do you plan overclocking at all?
