Am I better off buying a new desktop?

Hey guys, so I'm pretty new to the whole computer concept thing. but here's my question:

I want to able to do video editing with adobe and etc.

These are my current computer specs: Dell Inspiron 660s G645 (old AF lol)

Pentium G645 2.9 GHz - 4 GB - 500 GB

Intel Pentium G645 / 2.9 GHz

Dual-Core

DDR3 SDRAM - non-ECC

4 GB RAM

Intel HD Graphics

Should I upgrade the parts in the desktop like the graphics card and etc? or am I better off buying a whole new one?, and if so, can you recommend 2 or 3 models that I should consider purchasing?

Thanks in advance!

Update:

Budget $400-800 ish

    This computer will be barely capable of running Windows, let along a video editing program.

    As you said yourself, it's "old AF"

    So yeah, you need a new computer. Preferably one that has a discrete video card and not one of those Intel HD graphics chips. Those are just not powerful enough for your needs.
