is it worth getting an external hd with a fire wire?

The CPU is essentially a bargain chip, that's your bottleneck. you'd be much better off with a Phenom or an FX and can build a barebones kit based on one of those on Tigerdirect for under $300. What uclacardfan said about the video card is incorrect, you are processing video not rendering it so the GPU is irrelevant.

maks I was trying to keep it cheap, buying a new cpu for a budget oem build is a waste is money. A gpu, hdd and cpu purchased separately will turn into a wasted cash pit. At some point he must decide where to spend his money. A new tiger diy kit will bring him into present day hardware. Add an oem version of Win7 64 to a gpu, hdd and cpu you may as well build new from a Tiger diy kit. Tigers bundles are a good value.

Then it becomes a new thread and if rootbeer is comfortable applying TIM paste

The question then becomes where do you draw the line and remain cost effective.

This is why the high end i7 intel cpu's own at video editing while their lower tier offers the better bang for buck when building a gaming pc.

I agree with almost all of that, in fact I went on to recommend a tigerdirect barebones kit. I don't even think he'd need to buy a new copy of Windows, just call their 800 number and have his current one re-activated (assuming it's not using a Dell/HP/whatever bulk key)

I dont need to buy new hardware, but once you are dedicated to something you want good equipment. I will probably buy a new hd or an external idk.
the only video editing software i use is windows movie maker for now...

Did you figure out if you're running 64 bit windows?

Buy a good internal 1tb 7200rpm western digital caviar black when they are on sale for $75 and buy an additional sata cable since the sale drives are sold without a pretty retail box and a cable. After you install it and it you are sure it is a working drive register it @ WD by visiting their web site and you will get a 5 year warranty. You must register it online to get this longer warranty.

When you later decide to move into a new pc you can then simply add this drive to your new pc or buy an external enclosure for it. Western Digital's retail external drives use their lower tier green label power saving drives.

There is no harm in buying a drive now since you can always put it to use and when moved into a new pc it will have your data already on it.


Purchasing a discounted GPU will give you better performance in all video related tasks for less than $100.

Don't dump any more than $200 into your present pc

He's not rendering 3d, he's editing existing videos to cut them down and encode them into a sane format. A new video card isn't going to do squat.

That's stupid, using a different software product isn't going to help if he doesn't have the horsepower to run it. He's running an A6, that's essentially AMD's celeron.

I already figured out he was recording with fraps. If he wants to upload in less time, he should convert videos to webm, dvix or whatever, besides AMD fusion isnt good at video encoding than Intel i3

its not just the upload time, i realized games will run smoother if fraps saves the movie to another drive. unless im misunderstanding something.

here, I just looked at today's specials

you will need to register @ newegg so you will be able to use the code



this leaves you $120 for a gpu based on a $200 budget
