Hello Everyone! ^_^

I am helping a good friend of mine with building a budget gaming/video editing PC for
$1000 or less
!

-I have built my own for gaming, but I am lacking on the knowledge about the video editing. That being said, my friends words were " I would rather have a better video editing build first and then just upgrade my GPU later on".

-I told him that I preferred Intel over AMD and he also would like to have an Intel build if possible.
However, since there is a budget I would not mind seeing a AMD build and a good explanation as to why.

-What my friend told me was he would be playing lighter titles, not triple A's. He said games like "CSGO,Minecraft, and maybe COD." I would personally would like to see a build that is being built with Triple A's in mind because I know better than that.(haha)

-He uses programs such as Windows Movie Editor(Dont know about this one), XSplit, and OBS. He also mentioned rendering, so please keep that in mind as well.

-The resolution will be recorded and played at 1920x1080.

-I know that the video editing bit is for YouTube.

Last but not least! ^_^
If there anymore further questions or if I forgot any important info, please feel free to ask!
 


The point you make about the iGPU is very interesting, I will definitely keep that in mind and tell my friend about it as well! The only thing that I saw that I didn't like was the SSD memory as my friend probably wants to spend less than $100 on a SSD if possible.
