Q. Ok i want a computer for X-mas and i want it to edit video and play games, it has to be under $700 and it needs to have lots of space Thanks and ill pick a best answer.
A. Build your own, check out the AMD Phenom II X3 720 for about $120. It's a 2.8GHz tri-core processor that can easily be overclocked due to the unlocked multiplier.
Get 4GB of DDR3 RAM, you shouldn't really need any more than that.
Look for any motherboard really, you don't need anything fancy and can save some money here. Look at reliable brands like Asus, Gigabyte, ASRock, and anything with a really high user rating.
Get an HD4870 for about $150, it'll max out anything you could possibly want at 1680x1050 and run everything near-perfect at 1920x1080.
Finally, make sure to get a 550-600 watt power supply to run all this, preferably from somebody like Corsair or Antec to get the best quality/price deal (although OCZ is a good brand too, look for high ratings that aren't Rosewill or Sunbeam).
If you already have a monitor to hold you over for a while, wait for a bit on that to save money (critical here, otherwise your computer won't be as good).
If you're lucky, you'll also have a hard drive and an OS (check if it's retail or OEM, go to Control Panel-System and see if it says OEM under who it's registered to or if it has a bunch of numbers, OEM means you can't reuse it on a new motherboard).
If you have to get a new hard drive, go for 1TB, it'll last forever and give you the best bang for your buck.
If you need to get a new OS, it'll cost a bit more for the whole thing than $700, but it'll be worth it in the end (kick in some of your own money to help pay for it).
I have attached a Newegg.com wishlist (shop there) for a good build for you. It does not include an OS or a monitor. It's $630 before taxes and mail-in rebates, and $605 before taxes but after the rebates. If you want to upgrade due to the extra price room, simply change the processor to the AMD Phenom II X4 955 for an extra $45. When you eventually do buy a monitor, make sure it is 1920x1080 compatible, you can get them for $150 and they are about 22 inches.
