i think the athlon 64 3200+ should do?

it shjould do, however an intel may give you better performance... i am a personal fan of AMD but i must tell you to look into intel for this... and make sure lots of RAM and a large harddrive... atleast a gig of RAM and as much harddrive as you can get.

For stuff like video editing, go for the prescott cpus from intel. The 3.0E will be fine but you can try the newer cpus if you want. You'll want atleast 1 gig of quality ram and a big harddrive.

What MOBO do you recommend?

if you are getting the intel petium 4 processor, you should get this:

Intel "D865PERLL"

if you are getting a amd athlon 64 3000+,3200+, etc
i would get the:

SOLTEK "SL-K8AN2E-GR"
