Help Needed

Hello Everyone,

After attempting to research this I have come to the conclusion that I don’t know as much about computers as I thought. Basically I want to build a budget PC purely for video and photo editing and nothing else. Will this Setup be able to handle HD video editing and software such as Adobe Premiere/Photoshop –

Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It should handle it but it might be a bit on the slow side, might want to opt for a sandybridge combo

It will, but not spectacularly fast. You don't need a graphics card if you get an AM3 800 chipset motherboard, so I'd get one of those (make sure it supports 125W processors), 4 gigs of RAM (8 if you can stretch to it), and an X6 1055T (considerably faster for your uses).

Thanks for the responses! ok so i've had a look around, would this setup work better?

Motherboard - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-403-AS

(not sure if this supports 125w?)

Processor - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-268-AM

Ram - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-006-CS

I would like this computer to last a while so none of this equipment is going to be obsolete any time soon?
