I would go with AMD mobo asus or gigabyte... You probably could get away with using ddr2 ram... and once the new nvidia GT300 comes out, you can get a good discount on the older GPUs... Video will be more CPU intensive than GPU intensive... So I would shoot for a higher quality CPU rather than higher quality GPU if you have to make a choice. besides, it is much easier to upgrade a GPU later than a CPU if that's something you mind.

If the comp is used for light gaming and video than Overclocking may not be really important. I think that is a good choice as well if prefer intel.
