The DVD burning/editing/rendering would require better multi core performance so included a FX 8 with OCable MoBo and cooler for better overall performance. Included 2133MHz sticks as rendering requires fast memory and that's why included 120GB SSD, you can add a 1TB HDD for 35 bucks later, when you feel the space is running out. A reasonable PSU and case to compliment it with a fairly powerful card for medium-high gaming
