Hi, I recently got into editing and found out that my pc is outdated for such a hobby. So now I'm looking for a motherboard, video card, cpu and ram. I decided to go for i5 for the cpu (bad idea?), go 2gb DDR3, motherboard (any advice?) and some video card. My budget is around $400. Any ideas which ones to get?
Thank-you!|||Here's what I think is good for you. And no the Intel Core i5 isn't a bad idea. AMD's are good for editing also too. And are rather cheap.

Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
It does come out to around $438 though >_<. Intel is expensive.
Look at these ones for AMD though

Now as you can see I gave you a Dual Core Processor. That processor actually has 2 HIDDEN cores. And that motherboard has technology that can unlock those two hidden cores making it a quad core processor. And I think it all came together when I added the OCZ Black Edition RAM because of the Black Edition Processor.
Glad to help.|||Well, $400 for i5 is quite low. Most LGA 1156 motherboards are around $100 and up. The lowest end i5 is about $200...

Because you're doing lots of editing, a quad-core would be pretty useful.

Sadly, you'd have to skimp on the Video card, with only $60 left in budget.

If you'd like to spend less, you could go with i3? Or maybe an AMD processor.
AMD Build:

Ram: Same as above
The $50 cheaper processor leaves you $100 for a better video card.

Give it a thought, the better video card is likely to be better for gaming.
But the better processor is better for other purposes.|||build it yourself!

As to what you should buy depends on your current system.. look up your motherboard specs and see what its max. stats are|||you would want a decent motherboard, nothing flashy though. About a $50-$70 grahpics card, and probably about 4 gigs of ram.
