Hello all I am new to this Forum.
I am looking at building me a PC for the first time. As of right now I am just looking at performance and prices of everything I need, and the CPU has me lost. I find my computer skills to be in the very good range but, I have never built one before.
Here is everything I will be using my PC for:
Watching Blue-ray movies / maybe 3D as well.
Hard Core Gaming / some 3D.
Running anywhere up to 6 internet profiles at once.
Video Editing.
Lots of PowerPoint, Excel, Photoshop at the same time.
Out of all my research so far I believe I would benefit from having more then 1 core, and clock speed of a 3GHz min.
I was hoping to get a little nudge in the right direction of what would be best for me.
I would like to keep my price range below $500 but if necessary I could go higher.
I realize that the higher the price is not always the best, so looking through hundreds of CPU's has me screaming.
Side note: I have not bought anything yet (want to make sure everything is compatible before I start buying)
Thank you all in advance, and if this is not the right place to post please let me know.
