Hi there,

I've improve my computer since the last years to work with video and sound editing, but i'm not still satisfied.
I need your opinion about what i need to improve to make a better computer between 350$-450$, what i have now:

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 2.4 GHZ
4 GB RAM
AMD Radion R9 200
Kingston SSD 120GB
HD 500GB
LG 22MP55

I need your opinion, thank you so much!

Hi, what is the exact model of the gpu you have? However, if it is an r9 series card you won't need to upgrade it yet. You have a nice ips monitor as well. I would upgrade the cpu to an i5-4690k and to a z97 motherboard. Maybe a bigger hard drive as well if you are running out of space. And 8GB of ram wouldn't hurt. If you can find another 4GB stick of the ram you already have, you could get that, it would be cheaper than buying a new 8gb kit.

I'd suggest something like this for the upgrade :
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($225.98 @ SuperBiiz)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 3 113.8 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler...
