I want a PC that is better for video editing (for Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D, Photoshop etc.)

I'm not sure if I should keep my current laptop:
Processor:Inter i3-2350M (CPU @ 2,3GHz)
RAM: 4GB
64-Bit
465GB

Or, if I should purchase this PC: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUAD-CORE-GAMING-PC-DESKTOP-TOWER-AMD-A8-4-2Ghz-16GB-1TB-WINDOWS-7-PRO-/331430671300?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4d2aceb3c4
Processor: AMD A8 6600K (CPU @ 3.9GHZ (4.2GHz Overclocked) )
Memory: 16GB
64-Bit
1TB

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions for a PC that is good for video editing and under £330 (GBP-British Pound).

Also, can someone please explain to me what is Overclocked.

I am looking forward to your answers.
Thank you very much.
 
You can use the help of any local PC service guy. If you have any friends who are familiar with assembling PCs, that would also be okay.

I for one learned to assemble PC on my own. Learning from tutorials and the documents provided with the hardware for help in assembling. But at this stage, I will never suggest you to do this on your own.

You are the best 😀
Thank you soo much!
Not only you saved me from getting me a PC worse than my current one you also provided me one that suits my budget.

And by the way if I give all the part to a PC Tech shop will they assemble it for me, or is it easy to do by myself?
 


I don't see any reason why they wouldnt.

This rig would do you really good. It will be the best for this budget. That Motherboard is great. I use it on my rig. Sturdy as rock and reliable.

And as always, happy to be of help havoc137. Best of luck.
 


Okay, once again a massive thank you.
Have a great day :)
