Read Tweakers Page and more specifically Tweakers Page - What kind of PC to use? and Tweakers Page - What video card to use?

[Nicol Simard]

All things being equal, a good GPU will make a bigger difference in video rendering. However, get an I7 and not an I5 CPU. The differences, like hyperthreading for example, don't matter much for a gaming machine but are important for video editing.

[ECBowen]

Both CPU and GPU matter with the Hardware MPE. Decoding and encoding is still all CPU based. Get the I7 and a 660GTX video card would be the suggestion.
