Budget Video Editing/Light Gaming PC - £500

[evil4fro]

Hey Guys, I’m planning a build mainly for Adobe Premiere for video editing 1080p DSLR footage, for documentaries and short films. No big plans for After Effects just yet, but would like to be ready if needed.

I game very light. I'm the sort to pick up a game a few years after its release and I'm not ashamed to play it on low/med settings. Just something to have a light play on when the editing gets too much.

I was torn between the i3 and AMD FX-6350, have a feeling the AMD may be a bit more tailored to my needs. Also obviously want a NVIDIA card for the Adobe benefits. And a small SSD for rendering speed.

I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS already.

Size and looks don't matter but would prefer it to be on m-atx for sake of flat space.

Wanting to keep it at 500, so I can spend more money on lenses and other camera equipment.

Thanks!

How about going 20 pounds over and getting an i5 and GTX960?
