Is this a good computer for editing High Definition in Sony Vegas 8?

I will be editing High Definition AVCHD/M2TS files from my camera. I'm thinking about buying a HP Pavilion Elite M9351, which has the following spec: ....oh and don't bother telling me to buy a Mac as they are way above my budget.

1. Looks pretty good. Quad core is good for video editing and you have lots of hard disk space for all that HD video as well.
2. Your computer is a masterpiece for video editing and anything you want, it is also masterpiece for gaming O.O
3. My Desktop PC specs is less than what you mention, BUT it is doing great with Sony Vegas Pro 8. Previewing is quick and smooth. My PC specs: http://adrian.videolane.net/?p=446
