Hi all thanks for taking the time to help out, for the last week I have been playing around with different builds to help edit my gopro videos. I no longer do any PC Gaming (PS4) and just need a build for editing. I'm try to stay in the $650 range so I can also buy a new quadcopter. I have been leaning towards a AMD 8320 + ASUS board setup. my last build was an i5 2500k setup (stolen) The only thing I don't need are hard drives. I pretty much everything else picked out but can't decide if I should plunk down the cash for a new i5 or AMD with better graphics card.

edit: just found a Z97X LGA 1150 ATX Intel Motherboard and intel i7 4770k bundle and microcenter for $374, that puts it $85 more then my amd asus setup now im really torn!!!

here is what I have for everything else
Haf 912 (always had this board)
8 gig of g.skill
Hyper 212 +
gigabyte r9 270x graphics card
EVGA 600w 80+bronze power supply.

Please no flaming on the AMD VS INTEL, I'm really torn on this :(

With your $650 budget, I'd still go with Intel. AMD haven't been able to keep up with Intel in terms of processor performance as of late. Here is a build I've curated, which includes an Intel i5 within your budget.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.99 @ Newegg)

Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

By the way, you don't need an after market cooler such as the Hyper 212 EVO as the build above won't be able to overclock, hence if you're not overclocking the stock cooler is adequate.

All the best. :)
