New System Configuration for Premiere Pro

Am planning to build a new editing system with the following configuration, please help me weather its a good combination for video editing especially for Adobe Premiere Pro.
Intel Core i7 2600K
Asus P8Z68V-Pro
Corsair DDR3 2x4GB (Since 2600K supports only dual channel)
WD HD 1TBAnd I already have a Radeon HD 5700 Graphics Card (Which doest support ATI STREAM)
Thanks,

You will need at least one additional hard drive, as common practice dictates that you should not use your OS/applications drive to store your media on. This shouldn’t be too costly, as a 1TB drive is under $60 these days. If you can afford it, replace the ATI card with a 1GB+ FERMI nVidia card (it will speed up workflow in Premiere).

Thank you Chris, I ll be buying the nVidia card a couple of months later and Hard Drive I can get one more (Any spefic Hard Drive you would like to prefer? And how about striping it?). Other than that should I concentrate on any particular memory or motherboard..??

It’s a well balanced motherboard with the right chipset – I think you in good shape with it, especially if you use DDR3-1600 or faster memory.
I 2nd Chris’ advice on getting a separate media volume: the most common configuration (for that volume) is 2 drives in RAID0. If your workflow is fairly low-bandwidth (no multiple streams, no uncompressed or high bandwidth files) – a single media drive is fine. For internal drives, Hitachi 7K series are decent; WD Black Caviars are good too although WD doesn’t qualify them for RAIDs.

I always recommend Samsung’s 1TB F3 drive. I’ve bought over 100 of them in the last two years, and only one was DOA. Crazy fast in a RAID0 config, and still very fast by itself.

Thank you friends.. Am going to setup Raid 0 with WD RE4 Hard Drives.. Thanks for your valuable suggestions.
