Hi,
Can someone please advise me on what i can do with this machine. It was given to me and would like to know what are the limits to what the machine could do. I would like to mainly edit videos and game with this PC.
The specs are:
AMD FX 8320E CPU
ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 Motherboard
14.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)
1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
500w Evga 80+ power supply.
Thanks in advance
 


Since that program does not require CUDA, you would see a performance boost by getting a good AMD GPU. An SSD would be a performance boost as well, but I'm not sure how much.

Here is a review that included the performance test of the R9 290 and 290X:

Since the R9 3XX series is out they should perform a little better as R9 390X = 290X with an overclock and 390 = 290 with an OC. If those are out of your price range tell us your budget.

It will do them fine as is. If you aren't going to buy anything why would you be asking what to upgrade in it?
 


Guess I misunderstood this, usually on this site, this would mean you were looking for a way to upgrade it. If you just got the machine, why ask instead of just installing your program and trying it out.

But, yes, that machine should do Ok.
