Q&A: Computer system requirements for HD editing?

Question by Mario F: Computer system requirements for HD editing?
I would like to start a filmmaking career, I’m planning in getting the JVC HD200 Pro camera, but i’m not sure what kind of computer equipment to get in order to edit my project. I would like to use a good editing software maybe Vegas and use After Effects. Can some body point me in the right direction?
Don’t mind the cost, I need to know what I need.

I’ve been told Mac is best for movie making. Shoul I get PC or MAC?

Would this work? it goes for about $ 3,700.

Get MAC if some one with good experience of video editing has told u to or else PC and dont go for the geforce GT 120 512mb, get a geforce GTS 250 1 gb for around 150$ or the 512 mb for 130$ , the gts 250 is twice faster than gt 120. — GOOD LUCK —-
