I am really getting into photo and video editing. Mostly video editing and encoding though. I have around $600 to play with and am looking to upgrade my current system.

Currently I am running Windows 7 Ultimate
I have a 64 gb solid state drive as my OS drive and is where all my programs are installed
I have an Intel Core I-5 cpu 750 @ 267 GHz 2668 MHz 4 cores 4 processors
I have 4 gb of RAM
All of my other HDD's are all Sata drives and or USB external drives
(Would it be better to work my video and photo projects off a SSD drives instead of Sata drive)



My question is what would be the best bang for my buck as far as upgrading this setup into something much better for video processing? Mainly I would like my video encoding times to be reduced. I'm guessing that would envolve a better cpu but I'm just not sure.

Thanks for any input
