Hi Guys:
Here is my system's specs. Can you guys recommend a few upgrades that would that would help out? Should I concentrate more on the CPU or the GPU? A lot of graphics card carry 2GB of DDR. Would the additional memory for the graphics card make the videos run smoother? Mind you, I understand. It's not an exact thing and there's no guarantee since if the software won't make use of it, then it's a moot point.

That should be TONS, my old machine is half that (6gb RAM, dual core AMD, 500MB graphics) and I can edit files straight from the camera with PowerDirector no problem, no need for Cineform conversion.
*EDIT - I only have a Hero2 so 1080/30 or 720/60 - ymmv
