Build me a PC please

[obeyddz]

My budget is £500. I already have a monitor, mouse and keyboard.

I will be using my PC for after effects for editing HD gameplay videos. I basically need something that can run after effects well, render well and MOST IMPORTANTLY render the preview well. I will NOT use this PC for gaming! Just editing and internet browsing. I hope you can build me one with a 16gb ram.

I dont need anything extremely fast as I won't be editing all the time nor am I an editing PRO with a project completed every day , I would just like something kinda fast and smooth.

Thanks for reading!

I would suggest a I7 but your budget isn't gonna fit that. A i3 wouldn't be too bad for this build as you get the hyperthreading features that the i7 has but the i5's don't. A itx or low budget A TX build might be the end product. I can recommend some motherboards and parts if you'd like.

The i5-4670k and the i7 have rarely ANY difference when it comes to video rendering.
