So my set up now is like 6 years old.

intel core 2 duo (cpu)

4gb (ram)

Gigabyte ep41t ud3l (motherboard)

Nvidea GeForce GT250 (Graphics Card)

Anyhow im looking into upgrading, so the first thing I did was added new double 4gb ram cards for a total of 8 and did a clean install for a 64bit windows.

Now I'm looking for a pc that can do light gaming and video editing and recording and this is what I got now.


Gigabyte b75 motherboard
2gb gpu nvidea 640
I5 sandy bridge cpu

So how is this in your view guys and any recommendations to add or remove or change thank you in advance.
