My Macbook Pro isn't cutting it for editing HD videos from a Hauppauge HD PVR in iMovie. It runs really loud and hot when I'm importing and exporting videos, and it takes several hours for each. So since I was in the process of selecting parts for a gaming PC, I thought it would be a good idea to see if I could also get parts that would make my editing process go faster. Can I get any help? This is what I have picked out, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Do I need more RAM or something? Would that make things run more smoothly? And is the CPU a good one for editing? I can get a good price on it at Micro Center, and it's in my price range.
