ok guys, i completely understand that i'm way behind in PC technology. I simply don't have the money to spend on a high end PC. So let me explain in more details.
i have an OLD computer! about 6 yrs old.. i know. But, i am able to run PD12 just fine with 1080p video files. All videos on my youtube channel have been done with PD12 (youtube.com/ismaelrodriguez45)
THE PROBLEM: it's just a bit slow. and when i add a 4k video file, shadow files takes forever! so i mostly do 1080p, which is fine with me, i'm not creating blockbuster movies lol.
in the 6yrs i've had this PC i never upgraded anything, PC parts are expensive (for me). so i think that if i upgrade at least the CPU and the memory.. it should be faster than what im currently using. again, it wont be the latest and greatest, but at least better. i know, its like buying a PS2 at a time when PS4 is out.. im late, i get it.
My PC Specs:
Asus M4A785T-M
AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.81GHz
nvidia geforce gtx 570
6 GB (RAM)
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit
On the PD12 box, it recommends a AMD FX series, but from what ive read online my motherboard wont support it. so i think the fastest CPU i can get is the AMD phenom II x6, would that be fine?
and i think i should upgrade my RAM to 8gb instead of 6.
my budget is $200, i know that's joke, but i'm sure there's some users here who use PD with some older PC just fine.
any help would be appreciated thanks guys

hey guys, looking to build a budget friendly PC strictly for video and photo editing only. not looking for a Monster super computer to play the latest and greatest. just enough power to handle Powerdirector 12, which i currently have.
hope someone could help, thanks
