As for video rendering, I just want to be able to use an old copy of Avid without taking a thousand years to render anything, so basically that I need a mid range processor and decent amount of RAM.
For gaming ability, a non-integrated video card. I don't own my own rumble chair or anything.
My main issue is that I'm doing everything from my phone right now, so checking what is a decent motherboard, and matching it with components is pretty aggravating. If anyone already has basic knowledge to share about where I should be looking for good value, that would be great.
I don't want to put anyone to work, but if they already know "this Gigabyte board is awesome, and will run this processor, and they are both a fraction of the cost that they were two years ago" that's the kind of information that I'm hunting.
