I am building a computer for not only recording but editing as well, I'm not very savvy when it comes to these types of computer and would like some help! I have a build list but I'm not sure if I have all of the parts I need or have unnecessary parts.

ASRock Motherboard ATX DDR3 2400 AM3 970A-G/3.1

Corsair carbide 100R Mid tower Case

AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory 1.5V

WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX). -X2

Corsair CX Series, CX750, 750 Watt (750W) Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified

Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit System Builder OEM | PC Disc

We want the budget to be around a thousand at max, but performance is more important. We are in Texas and would really rather the parts to be available on Amazon Prime.

Any and all help is appreciated!
 
First off you need a graphics card to render out videos. Secondly I would definitely buy a newer and more powerful CPU for better performance and also more ease in editing. RAM is good, 16GB will benefit you a lot. MOBO is fine. I would recommend getting an SSD for much faster boot-up times and also faster performance on your PC. Cheap power supply but it will do. <removed by moderator>. Thats all, good build :)
 
I'd answer the questions stated above so we can help you pick out a better build. That being said, I have the same CPU the FX6300 and it's pretty slow on the video editing side. That CPU is over 5 years old and just can't handle rendering with any speed which is why I'm building a new system with Ryzen in it. Let us know your country of origin and your budget and we should be able to help you out.
 



The budget can be as high as a thousand, this is for my church so its not that big of a deal, the performance is more important to us than cost.
 


I'm from Texas, US. Availability is pretty much just amazon.
 


Recommendations on a Card and better CPU?

Only the Seasonic PSU would need to be delayed until 14th of March for stock availability.

This will represent the more stable, with optimized support and less potential for headache choice.

But if you're willing to bet on future support and optimization, then for just a bit more than your $1000 mark, you can get AMD Ryzen, an 8cores/16threads CPU that will offer you more performance than the 4cores/8threads i7:

The ASUS MB however is out of stock and may take a while for Amazon to restock it.
Ryzen is currently very picky about RAM so even though there's a different Kingston DDR4-2400 kit that is cheaper, but it's not on the QVL list, and therefore may be problematic to get it to work or may be problematic when you upgrade.
This kit: HX424C15FBK2/16
The cheaper kit: HX424C15FB2K2/16
This number difference refer to the different number of DRAM chips on each module, so for maximum compatibility do get the sticks with the exact model number in the future when you want to upgrade.

The Rosewill WolfAlloy has lots of 3.5" drive bays (for HDD and SSD); it's equipped with three 120mm fans and has two USB 2.0 + two USB 3.0 on its front panel for easy access.
Seasonic S12II 520W will provide good and stable power to the build while also having enough wattage and connector for most upgrades.

A GTX 1050 for any video editor that can take advantage of its CUDA cores.

The ADATA SSD will allow the system to boot in seconds.
