Go for 4 cores and 2 drives and 2 gig of ram. Avoid slow ram as you can get bottlenecks.
Looks like you have enough cash.

Spec a fast fast c drive (raptor 10000) for progs and apps - really worthwile.

You may also be able to afford a raid array for the media drives - some consdior this essentail whilst others dont see the need - it depends how concerned you are at loosing video if a drive fails - mirroring the drives ensures you are very unlikely to ever lose any video. Safe raid does cost, 2 50o gig drives will only give you 500 gig to use, but it is very safe.
