ASUS F1A75-M PRO FM1 AMD A75
Newegg.com - ASUS F1A75-M PRO FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Yes, that hard drive is good and the price is right as well.

Are you going to go with windows 7? If you are I would say get the 64 bit and buy 8GB of memory it will come in very handy with video editing.

Although Khalil is a super expert around here, there are also others who can help you from within the forum.

People have their own lives here and are not always online. People do what they can. This is a forum of volunteers.

No worries Abyssa you got the advice you need, if you run into any issues give me a call, I am around most of the time during business hours at the number I gave you.

I check every day but I can't give you my number because I am on a contract job right now. Post and / or call if you run into any problems. Khalil and I are the only ones that I know of that regularly build with AMD and he is great.
