Depending on your software, you may not *need* it, but it will probably make your life easier. But you should also look at your CPU and Memory, because I think what you've listed is seriously underpowered for HDV.
Check out the minimum requirements for the software you anticipate using, take them seriously and go "one louder."
Lots of good advice over on the editing forums... check them out for recommendations as well.
