Ehy guys i want to buy a PC for under 500$

It needs to be something from which can i use some software to edit videos and do simple stuff
What Pc would you suggest me ?
And what specifics should have ?
 
For most cases, building your own PC (it's easier than it sounds) is way cheaper.
But nowadays you have to sell a kidney to buy a decent graphics card because of crypto mining.
If you're not looking to game you can do the things you want to do with a CPU with decent integrated graphics.
My suggestion would be:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400g
RAM: 16GB+ (because of video editing)
For the rest of the parts just look for some that fit into your budget on PCPartPicker the ones named above are the only ones that will significantly affect performance.
 
I would buy a 3-4 year old one, with good specs, most value for the money.

And a decent ssd
 
Thanks guys for all the reply!
Do you think a 12 Gb Ram is enough to run prpgramm like HitFilm express and similar ?

I don't know if you can build a notebook, but if you can I'd assume it's much harder.
You could try find a notebook with those specs though.
 
I run adobe premiere with an AMD 1600x (starting to get a bit on the old side now) still works great. Planning to upgrade the CPU next year. Much easier to upgrade a desktop as you go along. For example the memory and hard drive.
 
Buy one with which you can't mine crypto it will be a lot cheaper
Go with i7 with atleast 16 gb ram.
And make sure you buy ssd ssd hardisk are way more faster
 
For my scraping activities, I buy HP Elitedesk 800 G1, I think it's called.

I get those from refurbishers on Ebay with lots of good reviews.
You wanna look for an i5 4th gen+ CPU with 16gb RAM, and 250gb SSD minimum.
That should cost you about $300, give or take.
 
Друзі, я хочу купити комп’ютер за ціною менше 500 доларів

Це має бути щось, з чого я можу використовувати програмне забезпечення для редагування відео та виконання простих речей
Який комп ви мені порадите?
А яка специфіка повинна бути?
аpple mac pro 1tb
 
Just to clarify,i am talking about a PC not a computer
 
I mean a notebook is the right term i think

Found the same one on a local classified ads site, the prices ranges between $70 & $500 , different specs from i5 4th gen to i7 , i can of course add ram but what do you think a good specs for scraping would be ? i'm planning to run paigham on it.
