Now, I'm needing to do lots of video editing (1080P) and my computer is so slow! What would the upgrade priority be? What are better CPU's for this? Intel or Ryzen? What would a low-budget upgrade? What would be a mid-budget upgrade? Budget is $500.

Somebody has offered me Asroch Extreme 3 mobo with an i5 4670k and 16GB RAM 2110mhz (idk the right number). Would I take that? How much would be fair?

I'll have to check it's PSU when I get home. What is needed for video editing for sure? What is the major component you should consider? CPU and RAM? Or is the SSD also a crucial part?

CPU and ram
more threads the merrier, single core speed and 16 gb ram. SSD is for loading speed too.

the ssd is no good, ram too slow, ryzen requires faster ram to shine
you can change CPU to 2600 if you like, was trying for 1700 but budget limits.
