If you want an editing PC go with a i7 2700k got one myself can recomend it, AMD are good price and that's about it. Sorry AMD fans :S

You have an AMD board. You wont be able to upgrade to an Intel CPU with that current board, as they are different sockets.

The Hard drive is on the smaller side in today's standards, but it will work until you decide to upgrade.

Everything else on the computer is fine.

Forest thank you very much for that, yeah i agree with it being on the small side but hard drives are cheap compared to other component's like CPU And GPU So i will be upgrading that soon!
