I'm looking at 2 desktops, one that has a 3.7 GHz processor and 1 TB of memory, another that has 2.4 GHz processor and 500 gb processor. Both have the same amount of RAM, but there's a hundred dollar difference.
Question here is, do I need a 3.7 GHz processor or am I fine with a 2.4 GHz processor? All I use a computer for is editing and downloading videos (which I'm sure 500 GB would be enough for that), occasional online streaming and video capture card recording, and using the internet.
Another thing, if a CPU is refurbished (and thus at a lower price and more budget friendly), and has good specs, would it be ideal to go with that instead, or just buy a wholly new computer?

For video editing and everyday use, 2.4 Ghz CPU is fine.
I suggest you to stick with your refurbished CPU. Not only it's budget friendly but you won't find the perfect gaming tour that has the perfect specs/price match. If there's anything lacking in your computer, just replace it.

I had a Toshiba Satellite for about a year and a half that died due to a hard drive flaw as well as me not having a fan, then I got an old 2002 laptop that was sitting around never used, long story but it's never been used, but has about 85 gb in memory, 512 kb of ram and a 1.6 processor. So I don't already have a refurbished CPU, just asking should I go for an entirely new computer or buy a refurbished one? Can't actually replace parts on mine since it's so old |

Clock speed isn't really important; that 2.4ghz processor could actually be better than the 3.7ghz one. Do you have the names of the CPUs? If so, I can look up their benchmarks for you. |
