Suggestions for a new A/V computer

In all honesty, I posted this verbatim at Yeeshkul. Figured I'd try here as well to get a good rounded opinion.

After a 10-year hiatus, I've decided I'd like to start tinkering with A/V stuff again. Converting old tapes (VHS and cassette), editing stuff I've shot on my phone, etc...

What are people using nowadays? Back when I was doing this, I invested in an external shielded soundcard because the internal ones were introducing a lot of noise from the motherboard. Is this still a concern? I was looking at the Alienware Aurora as a base (figuring it's built for graphics) and then investing in a good soundcard, but I don't even know where to start.

Suggestions? I'd like to get good results, but I also don't want to spend a fortune. Especially curious about the hardware that }{eywood/JEMS/RonToon/etc.. uses.
