After a month of searching for the best solution for my needs which are Light Gaming (WoW,Dota2), Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Gimp, Video Editing, Matlab, I found 2 configurations that can fit in my 400$ budget from my local store.

First:
CPU: fx-4100 3.6GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon 7750, 1GB/DDR5
HD: 500GB
RAM: 4GGB DDR3
MOBO: AM3+, PCIe/DDR3/SATA2/GLAN/7.1

Second:
CPU: Intel Pentium g2010 2.8GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon 7750, 1GB/DDR5
HD: 500GB
RAM: 4GB DDR3
MOBO: LGA1155 H61M, PCIe/DDR3/SATA2/LAN/DVI/7.1

I might decide to upgrade in a few years some parts if necessary so I think that AMD parts should be cheaper to upgrade.

I have SyncMaster 793 DF monitor on resolution 1280x1024 which will be replaced soon hopefully.

Note: Please stick to the systems that I have mentioned and don't make any major changes because those are the deals I can get on my tight budget now.

of course multi core are better in video editing and rendring. But for per core performance it will not be a match for 3220. So it will increase Frames in games and moderate medium (like in your case best for lite video editing).

From the above link fx 4300 is bit higher than 4100 but that too also beaten by i3 3220

if you still want AMD CPU with multi core go for AMD FX 6300 6 core but still slower than i3 3220 in gaming but good for Video edition

For the above 2nd option is better and good for over all minimum gaming performance.

FX 4100(4 Core) is same price of i3 3220(2 Core). but i3 3220 is more and much faster than 4100.

So my suggestion is i3 3220 + Asus h61 + Corsair Vengance 1600 CL 9 4GB + Seagate 500GB + XFX 7750 / Gigabyte 7750

This is the best :-D
