I do a fair amount of DVD encoding (with Encore) at home, and some video editing (with Premiere Pro).

I had an Athlon 64 3000 and upgraded to a Core 2 Duo with Asrock 775-vsta motherboard. The 775 isn't the greatest Core 2 motherboard out there, but it is cheap (around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£40-Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50) and does support both AGP and PCI Express graphics cards, and it also supports pc3200 ram. You can expect to pay around for the CPU.

The processor is Multi core (it is essentially two CPUs), and as far as I know, Photoshop WILL take advantage of this. I know that Premiere does.
