I am new to building my own desktop pc. I want to build a machine to do typcial office stuff (Word, Powerpoint, Excel), surfing the web, and video editing. Sorry if the info is readily available - I tried to look around some, but am not exactly sure where to start and it looked like most advice were geared toward gaming. I have always bought Intel, but am not opposed to buying AMD. I have heard that it might be better for me to buy an I5 and put more money in a graphics card. I ideally would like to pay $500-600, but would appreciate advice if that is not realistic for a decent video editing machine (my current HP Intel 2 Duo E6750 processor machine crashes a lot when rendering). Any help on how to get started would be appreciated.
