Which of these systems is best!!

A friend is looking to buy a pc with a max budget of around £800.
Heres three options i have come up with. Please comment and say wat you think is best. We have also considered i7 but it is so expensive. He will be doing mainly video editing and rendering and special effects. But he may play a few games too. Also what do you think of the motherboard for that phenom II

I would go for 2nd or 3rd depend on your budget, i would also change mobo to P5Q Pro or P5Q Deluxe and also i would change PSU to Corsair or Be Quiet

I would go for third, although if he isn't a big gamer then I would swap the 260 for a 4850 - a very capable card.

i may be wrong but in the first one you have an am2+ cpu with an am2 mobo...from what ive heard it doesnt work

will he be overclocking ?

& dont get that psu get the PCP&C 610

Also get an evga 260 for the warrenty

& if you want the AMD route go for a Asus M3A79-T Deluxe with a 940
