Default Need recommendations for PC/software for editing HD video

The hard drive on my Sony SR11 is nearly full, and I'm in the market for a PC to edit the video and burn it to DVD-Rs (in AVCHD format) and later (when the prices come down) to BR discs. I'm not sure how much horsepower I'll need to edit/author the HD video. Here are the specs I'm looking at on an HP desktop PC:
  • AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad-core (2.5GHz)
  • Windows Vista 64-bit
  • 6GB RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT w/512k VRAM
  • 750GB hard drive
Is that enough to edit 1080P video? (Without the rendering taking all night!)

Also, any recommendations for editing/authoring software? The two biggies (with support for AVCHD) seem to be Sony Vegas and Pinnacle Studio. I have an old version of Studio (8) that seemed to work great- except for the fact that it crashed all the time. Has anyone used either/both for editing HD video? Preference? Thanks!
