I would like to build a new computer as the ones I have now are quite old. My budget is around $400 to $500. The computer doesn't have to be top of the line, just something that works and allows me to surf and do video editing. Just looking for the best bang for my buck. I'll probably be looking to install Pinnacle Software (Video Editing).
In terms of importance -- reliability, speed, lots of RAM and stability are key. I'm looking for suggestions for new parts.
