Building a computer for my grandpa, his old computer is outdated as hell. He's going to be using it for picture/video editing.
-$1,000 USD budget
- Monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS taken care of
- Two dvd drives
I was thinking some along the lines of
i7
6GB of ram
1.5TB hdd
mid range 5000 series card (5450/5670)
I'm not up to date with hardware, so I was wondering if someone could make a build. (my suggestions are probably bad)

It totals up to $909.93, and S/H will probably bring it up to around $950.
Let me add some of the specs to this post:
Processor: Intel Core i7-860 2.8GHz Quad Core
The 920 was out of stock.
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1333
I gave you 8GB instead of 6GB. :3:
Video card: Radeon HD 5670 1GB
HD: 2TB
wish list doesn't work
Sorry about that, it's fixed now.

Get above build, except replace PSU/GPU with this:

FYI, the the i7 920/860 are getting replaced by 930/870 for the same price. Don't get the 920 or 860 unless you can get them cheaper.
For better HDD performance, go with two of these instead
