PC set up?

I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for a PC editing system...
I'd prefer to build my own instead of buying a turnkey system...
Manly I'm interested in suggestions for a video card and/or capture card... if you just
want to post what your editing with now and how well it works for you that'd be great...
 
if you are plugging from camera to the external video tv/monitor, as long as the tv/monitor have rca jack in then you'll be fine. I use the old Commodore 64 color monitor :) $30 and does the job!
 
Firewire will always be faster if captured via pci bus card because the pci bus is much wider than any usb interface. Although it says 400mbps for firewire and 480 for usb 2.0 this only relates to the line speed.
