Editing on a budget

[Superdoge]

I don't have the biggest budget at the moment. About a year ago when I was very naive about computers (I was twelve, and a moron) I built a system with a Xeon x3430, 4gb DDR3, a GTX 660, a CX 430, and a Intel DQ57TM. My budget was small at the time, and I sold my motherboard and CPU because I thought I wouldn't need that computer anymore. I used it for Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects and Firefox. Nothing else. Whatever the case, I need that PC again but I don't have money for a new expensive motherboard and CPU. Anyone have any suggestions?

for a cpu and motherboard? no chance you want AT LEAST an i5 which is gunna be about 200 on its own

Just grab what you can. I mean, I have a G3258 for it, and while it is kinda slow sometimes (Premiere doesn't want to use my GPU whatsoever), it's completely doable and it lets me get other things done lmao

You really should save up some more money, maybe 200-300 more to get a decent build. $200 won't be worth it.

Fx 8320 + gigabyte ga970 ud3p

 

U get no upgrade path but in return u get a much better solution then equally priced Intel options.

Considering the type of work you are intending to use the pc for.

 

Fx 8320 at around 4.5GHz will match a i7 3770 in multithreaded tasks.
