Want to build new PC mainly or video editing and maybe future HDV editing.

I was looking at Conroe E6300 or E6400 ,P5B Deluxe or P5W DH mobo(price is still high).
As reading about a mobo it accepts only SATA??I cant use my older IDE drives??
Video card with TV/capture and 2 outs for monitor would be nice,otherwise I'm not a gamer so I dont need high end video card.

I hope it will be faster than my current P4 3.2Ghz,1GB RAM laptop.

Is this a good combination??

if it won't support Your IDE oldies, You can always use ext USB box for those. USB2 works so fast that You can easily cut/edit with AP2.0 up to 12 parallel AV tracks with no probs.

Still cant decide what CPU and mobo

cpu to buy
 

consider the 6600, it's probably the sweetspot on price/performance.
Makes me wish I had not built an AMD last fall (sigh).

Also, there is always an addin card for internal IDE support. Adaptec is still pretty good with these.
