New system build for 1300

[Pghkevy]

Suggestions on a new rig please. My current one is so outdated, i can't even play hd videos without them being choppy. It crashes all the time, and trying to convert a mkv file to dvd takes literally 2+ hours.
Please keep in mind a HIGH END Video card is NOT needed I am NOT a gamer.

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: December 20th

Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) 1300

System Usage from Most to Least Important: converting and burning movies, avg internet surfing.

Are you buying a monitor: NO



Parts to Upgrade: case, mobo, cpu, ram, video card, ssd, burner, psu

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, tiger

Location: Pittsburgh, Pa

Parts Preferences: Intel

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes

Your Monitor Resolution: multiple monitor setup in near future

Additional Comments: My House gets extremely hot in the summer, interested in a case that will provide enough cooling, also air cooling or water cooling system that will do the job as well.

Again i Do NOT need a high end graphics card.
Thank you in advance

You don't really need much if it is just for those purposes

doing something like an $700 AMD build will do you fine with those kinds of purposes.

Even this might be to much considering you might not use a lot of space

when you get to your mutli monitor setup spend some money to get a 7770 or a 7850

would go for this
