New System Setup - Backups, Raid Etc. Especially Videos

[chrisjackson]

My daughter and I will be editing her 15 minute 720p videos for a weekly beauty video magazine online. I am putting together a hardware system cheaply to start with to edit the videos with VideoStudio X5 Pro Ultimate. Then 3 versions of the final result will be created with an HTML5 generator to support all browers with Flash fallback. So I will have 45 minutes of video to upload everyweek to the website server. Whether I need to back-up all 3 versions or just the finished edited one I don't know yet.

i7-920 EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 with 12gb ram.
EVGA 025-P3-1579-RX GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 2560MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Expres
Corsair GS700 PS
Someone wants to sell me a Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus for 45.00

The rest I need to buy, Hard drives, case.

The webserver will not be backing up our website or videos, it's up to me.

Everything I'm doing is new to me. I spent endless hours just to pick the video card and inexpensive motherboard and cpu and how much ram to get.

What suggestions for back-up and do I need a raid set-up with this situation?

Thanks for anything you might suggest!

You may also want to consider a cloud storage backup, like Google Drive, Dropbox or the one from Microsoft, since you actually setup these services to automatically sync or upload your files without you doing anything.
