. I plan on using my system for mostly gamming secondary to video editing 
. I am slowly learning the differences between AMD and Pentium base systems. I am just looking for some opinions to steer me in the right direction on what processor/ video card to go with. I am saving for this system and want it to be a purchase that will last for a few years and keep up with the games coming out down the road. Any advice you have to offer will be more than appreciated. 
I will abuse our new friend in good time. Don't want to scare him/her away too soon.
