I think your budget needs a little work.
As soon as you said video editing you could easily jump to the 1000 buck range.
See if this fits.
Cpu.....amd a10-5800k
Mobo.....pick one that supports the cpu and has the features you want.
Ram.....2x4GB of the fastest ram the mobo will support in native mode.
Ten years ago I used to build and tinker with desktops; now I'm just confused with the new buzzwords and tech, especially when it comes to CPUs.
I currently have an AMD X2 duel core 4800+ 2.50ghz, with 3gb of RAM and crappy on-board video. It can be painfully slow.
I would like to spend in the $200-250 range, with video that'll work on my 22" monitor without stuttering. I'm looking for a CPU/MB/RAM combo that I can effectively swap in for my current set-up. I like to play some older games, but nothing graphic intensive. Beyond that, I just want something that'll allow me to be converting a video file with iTunes open while surfing the internet. I can't really do that with what I have right now.
I'm having a rough go parsing through all the options on newegg.com, etc., so I'm open for any and all advice/good buys that people know of. Thanks!
