Need a new desktop.....recommendations?

I'm moving toward using some desktop video editing/DVD burning for camcorder video, and it appears my current desktop may not be sufficient (AMD Athlon XP - 2.16 ghz, 160GB, 512MB, 64MB w/ the video card). This would turn into the kid's computer, which is something I wanted to do at some point any way.

I know many here talk about building your own, but I'm not a computer geek by any stretch. Not sure I could pull that off. Dell outlet seems to have some good deals. I'd assume New Egg has some decent deals, but haven't looked yet. Then there's always the B&M mega stores that you can sometimes find a price leader and get a good deal. Any recommendations?
