System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, light video editing, surfing the net

Are you buying a monitor: no

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Location: US

Parts Preferences: AMD on the 500 dollar build, intel on the 850 dollar build.

Overclocking: possibly

SLI or Crossfire: not on this budget

The 500 dollar build is the office build, and yes, it will occasionally be used for gaming, light video editing, and surfing the net. The 850 dollar build is the home build and it will essentially be a beefed up version of the 500 dollar pc, with intel instead of AMD.
