Hey Guys,

So im going to build a second computer really soon. And not sure what to get. I want to go with AMD as its cheaper than intel. No need for peripherals, power supply, case, hard drive, cpu cooler and ram.

I will be using this computer for more editing stuff while i play games on my main computers. The programs that i will be using are Sony Vegas Pro 11 and Photoshop. I dont really care how long it takes to render and stuff as i wont be using it to game. It will be used for small gaming like minecraft. Also i live in Australia so australian stores only please.

So what mobo, cpu and gpu should i get?

Cheers Guys.

8320, Gigabyte 990Fx UD3, and GPU depends on your budget. Also why are you making a new computer, your current is already good

Maybe like $450 AUD? not much. More so for my bro and friends who come over and stuff like that. Or should i get a good APU?
