I'm lookin to get a new pc and i think I've found the one. I'm only going to be using it for basic stuff and a little video editing and gaming here and there.Tell me what you guys think, any comments are appreciated. Its about $440 shipped with a 2 year warranty. (im gonna upgrade the RAM to 2 or 3 gigs) And how good is this processor? I dont know much about AMD (ive always used intel) but it looks alright. And it will be running Vista (not my choice)

Looks ok m8, not to sure about the Graphics card. You would be very limited to what games you could play with that. What is you budget? also where would you buy the parts from. I like AMD and have use there CPUs for years but now days Intel seem to be the best around . You might want to pay a little more for maybe a C2D CPU and better graphics card IMO.
 
It'll play up to BF2 at low settings (as I have it...)... But nothing much more. Any higher DX9 games, it'll fall... $440 could get you better. The CPU is a huge overkill, and the GFX is horrible. Should we help ya make a build? (US right?)
 
Well my budget is about 500 so this fits in there just fine :). Its not too much but I'm not lookin for top of the line equipment. As long as it don't get the "hang time" I get with my computer now when using semi-intensive apps, then I'm happy. But this cpu is terrible is it?

As far as the parts go I'm not sure where the best place is to go. What would you recommend? I was planning on getting a different graphics card but that wont be for a few months at best.

Oh, and also, could you give me a rough guess on how good or bad video editing would be with this?
