Upgrade for Editing PC?

Hello!

Right now I have a intel core 2 Duo 6700(OC at 2.7 GHz) 8GB of 500MHz DDR2 (dell?) Ram. For a Graphics card I have a Radeon HD 5570 1GB(Sapphire) back from when it was still called ATI, and for storage I have a couple of Seagate Barracuda 1TBs, and a old 400w power supply by Dynex. I was rendering something in after effects, and I found that a 45 second clip had an ETR of 4 Hours and 37 Minuets. I was surprised, but at the same time I have been itching for an upgrade, and was wondering what I should get. I will be spending $400-500 for the upgrade so I'm not going to be getting the New 4960X. Obviously I will need a new motherboard, and with a new type of DRAM I will need new ram, and with all of that I would like to get a new PSU as I am afraid I am going to burn my house down with my current one. Thanks in advanced!

-Xavier

Great for editing. FX 8-Core, 16GB DDR3 (not sure if overkill), 7770 GHz 1GB graphics and a power supply that won't kill you! It's a bit over your price limit, but you can downgrade to 8GB RAM to fit it into the range.

The motherboard doesn't support the piledriver 8-cores since they are 125w and they only take 95w> cpus

I guess I needed to look into that more.

 

Thanks for telling me.

What kind of editing are you doing that calls for a 4960X?

I said I'm NOT going to need one. I use Creative Cloud, Maya, Cinema 4D. I also do a lot of gaming on the side.

Ahh, sorry. How heavy/light is your editing going to be?
