I need to build a computer specifically for video editing and blu-ray burning. I will be using a Canon Vixia HF-100 AVCHD Camcorder for capturing and Sony Vegas Platinum 9.0 for editing. My HP Pavilion a1330n doesn't seem to be powerful enough to even play the clips captured by the camcorder. I put a GeForce 8400 GPU into it along with an additional 1GB of RAM and it helped a little. Upon researching system requirements for BD-R drives, I have learned nothing as to what exactly I will need. I want to spend less than $1000 and components that I already have include:
Case
Software (including OS)
Monitor
Hard Drive
If any can help I would be much abliged
