Would appreciate some advice. My mate uses Sony Vegas and wants me to build him a reasonable spec PC. He is by ne means a pro and only does videos for Uni work and as a hobby.
Was thinking going AMD as he only has around £300 to spend, maybe a fast dual core? Gamining doesn't come into it at all so would onboard be good enough?
We have a 500GB HDD, screen, keyboard and mouse etc so would need:
Case/PSU
CPU
Motherboard
RAM
(Video card?)
He's in Uni so can get Windows 7 cheaper than OEM. I've only built machines with gaming in mind and never with encoding in mind so would appreciate advice. Is a dual good enough or would a quad really be worth the extra?
