riteo, budget is ~500, at an absolute max, 550

need keyboard, mouse, monitor and base unit.

My cousin is using her celeron 1.4 laptop with 256 mb of ram to do video and audio editing, and its apparently just totally unable to cope.

Can we do a rough spec system for this budget that could cope ?
 
What sort of level of video and audio editing are we talking about here? This system will be capable of pretty basic stuff but you might be best getting a discrete graphics card and soundcard if it is more than that which is why I left a bit of space in the budget. :)
