Help me build the right rig

Hello everyone,

I want to build a desktop powerful enough to seamlessly record PS3 gameplay in 1080i (through component cable). I will also use Sony Vegas Pro and Adobe After Effects to edit those videos.

So far I have bought Hauppauge's HD PVR recorder but my knowledge on PC hardware is limited so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Cyprus (but I can import)

€2000

Damn I wouldn't even know how to blow so much money on a PC lol I use the HD PVR and Vegas too, you can cut your budget by half and still run it all flawlessly

(monitor not included ;))
