Best Computer Specs for HD video editing (DSLR)?

Josh

I have a Canon EOS 60D DSLR camera, which records in full HD, 1080p. I am currently trying to sell my laptop to put towards a new desktop computer. I would like to know what computer specs I would need to have, but with the cheapest price possible. I found a computer that I am currently looking at with these specs:

Asus CM6870-US-2AA
Intel Core i5-3450
3.1GHz
12GB RAM
2TB Hard Drive
GeForce GT 520

I am looking to edit in both Adobe After Effects CS6 and Adobe Premiere, so would the specs I listed above be good for it? Please, I would like personal opinions, what do you think is the cheapest computer that will be decent to editing HD video in such programs.

P.S. - If anyone is interested in buying my laptop, here is the ebay page :-)

Thanks in advance :-)

Answer
I have After Effects CS6 and my specs are:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2450M
GPU: Amd Radeon HD 7670M, 2GB VRAM
RAM: 6 GB
It's a laptop btw...

... and it runs just fine. I have 0 problems/issues, so the computer you are looking at will work just fine, and render things a lot faster than mine aswell :)

Is my laptop good for HD video editing and HD video streaming?

I love making videos, editing them and posting them for people to watch. I do a lot of Visual Effects, Audio editing.
I always used a Standard Definition camera so the quality wasn't so good.
I bought a Canon 60D DSLR with 1080p HD video capabilities.
Programs i use: Adobe After Effects cs4, Adobe Premiere pro cs4.
and i was wondering if my laptop can handle it.

here are the details:
