So - I have asked the wonderful people at /r/buildapcforme about a decent build that can handle video editing as well as play games such as FFXIV and TES:O. This is what I got for an $800 budget build:
What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible.
Gaming - want to be able to play FFXIV - Elder Scrolls Online without any issues. Video Editing - May dable a bit in video editing some captured game play from my home consoles as well, so lower processing time = bonus.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?
I am looking to spend about $800
When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Very soon - Tax money.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? OS, peripherals, wifi, in addition to the tower.
I am thinking the only thing I need is the Tower. I have an OS, peripherals, and a wifi usb device.
Which country will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have a Microcenter?
US - I have a connection to Microcenter (friend lives near one - but would prefer a build without the hassle. . . Unless the deal is one heck of a steal.)
If reusing any parts (including peripherals), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.
I have a DVD+-RW Drive and that is the only thing I need to really keep from my old PC.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?
No real plans to over clock, as I don't want to spend the money on cooling it down atm. However - I would like to have a case large enough for this option.
If there's any specific features you want/need from the rig, please list them.
USB 3.0 if possible. Kinda want to future proof as much as possible.
Do you have any specific case preferences such as a window or LEDs, or do you have a preference for low-noise components?
Nope.
Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS?
Sure - Windows
Now I was wondering what I should do if I increase the budget another $100. Where would the money be better placed?CPU Cooler
