I'm thinking of getting a PC

[avrame]

Well, I'ma help the poor boy out and throw out a suggestion, feel free to critic or append to my advice as you see fit fellow racketeers.

Intel or AMD? I'm an Intel kind of guy myself, so I'll make you a build based on intel stuffs:

CPU/Mobo/Ram/Hdd/PSU ($500):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.722559

Mid-tower Antec 300 case ($75):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042

GTX 460 1GB OC ($160 - 30 rebate):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133326

Total: $735 before rebate (Price rounded up to estimate tax and shipping costs)

Hits your $800 budget, you get a 8 core i7, 8GB ram, 2TB HDD, GFX card with built in HDMI out (with 3D support! OOOoooOhhHh ) and a case big enough to hold all of it.

I'ma play the devil and critic my own suggestion:

"But that mobo only has 2 ram slots, and only 1 PCI slot!"

Good point, didn't notice that. If you are okay with a weaker CPU (i7 is sorta over kill for gaming. You COULD get away with a Core 2 Duo for gaming if you wanted to), may I suggest this?:

I5 intel proc, 4GB ram, nice mobo, case, psu, GTX 560 1 GB, 500GB hdd
All for $700 shipped, not a bad deal.

Lol, forgot that as well. PM me if you need a good deal on an OS.

Something to consider with that first combo deal is that it's "only" got a savings of around $35.

Go with an i5 2500k for $220 instead of a $300 i7 2600, and you can work in a decent Z68 board (not your only choice) for $120 or so ...and the combined total is similar to the bundle cost if you get the same RAM/HDD.

Or the second bundle linked would be better.

The i5 2500K is really the current bang/buck CPU, since it's quite overclockable and the main thing you lose from the i7 is hyperthreading (which is a moot point for games).

If you have a Microcenter near you, they have in-store prices for CPUs that tend to be great deals. i5 2500K is $180 instead of the $220 it is on Newegg.

The first two post of this thread are extremely helpful:

They even include a $600 dollar build that is pretty good. Look it over, see if its for you. Just an all round helpful thread. I consulated it when I was upgrading an old pre-built dell earlier this year.

That computer looks really good. Now could I put the first one on this page in it?

I also still want to run my computer to my TV or a monitor through a HDMI cable. Does that computer support that?

The video card included in that bundle has a mini-HDMI port, but comes with an adapter to full-size HDMI. It should hook to your TV as readily as hooking up to a monitor.

The motherboard included has both several PCIe slots, and USB 3.0, so either variant of the video editing solution you linked should work fine as well.

Thanks! You guys have been a great help! I better start modding and selling stuff now to raise enough funds lol!
