I could suggest a build for you but, what is your overall budget ?

Check out TigerDirects Barebones kits. There is plenty to chose from and many are really good prices.

Sorry chap but your computer can't always be fast no matter how many programs you have open especially if it's video rendering. Look around the forums there are some great threads describing how to build a computer what you need and pretty much every aspect about a computer you could thing of. But your budget is only 350$-400$ so in the meantime i will see what i or another member of Computer Forum can whip up.

 

[wise old man]

ok so maby not super fast no matter what but pretty fast alot of time
the computer i have now is and hp povilion a475c if you dont know what that is google it

 

[wise old man]

[Respital]
