What would i need to update my pc to make the videos render a little faster, to stop the choppiness while post production? Thank you for all your advice i appreciate it

I use sony vegas pro 10 and i use aTube Catcher to convert my videos to smaller size (mpeg4) and the quality still comes out super great

Thank you so much for the help, i am at a 500 dollar budget right now i was thinking about getting a new pc but i was wanting to hold off i have everything on this computer lol i will be transferring forever lol

Thanks so much for the help, is there any other processor that would be good or a LITTLE cheaper than the i7 and would i need a new video card as well?

Follow Ctwo's advice.  I tried the $500-$800 computer route and it just didn't work for smooth editing of Canon DSLR files.  With a first generation Core i7 processor I still had to transcode, current machine is an HP with a 2nd gen Core i7 (quad core) 2600 and that does it.  I wish I had even spent a bit more and gone for a 2nd gen Core i7 six core processor.  The guys who have those say they literally FLY!

Your 2009 vintage dual core mother board is not compatible with Core i7 (or even i5) technology.  You're due for a "new box".
