So, I was thinking about getting a PC for gaming and recording in 60 fps and Full HD. I would also like to use this computer for editing (not at professional levels) and redering in 1080p/720p. Will these parts be good enough?


-CPU: i5-7600
-GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 480 (4GB GDDR5)
-HDD: Western Digital 1TB
-SSD: Crucial M.2 MX300, 275GB
-PSU: EVGA Supernova GQ, 750W, Semi-Modular, 80 Plus Gold
-Motherboard: Gigabyte H270-HD3
-Case: Corsair Carbide 400C, Black
-CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
-Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX, DDR4, 3000 MHz, Black (2x8 GB)

Thanks in advance.

while the Crucial Mx300 is a great SSD, don't get the M2. it's the same speed as the SATA. So you're just wasting lanes.
for recording+editing I'd...
Well, actually its even alot even if you have a 1080.. Save yourself some money and get a better VGA like the Red Devil 8Gb!

a 212 Evo isn't necessary for a non-k CPU. the stock cooler is fine, otherwise a Cryorig M9i would be a wiser choice.
750W is overkill. this setup would run on a 450W PSU.
even a 1080Ti can run on 550W.
Seasonic G costs around the same as the EVGA GQ but is of superior quality imo

I'm getting the M2 so that I am able to take off the ssd mounting slots behind the case to have more space for cable management. I am only editing short 720/1080p videos (5 minutes max, because my connection sucks) so I think the i5 would be good enough for my needs (I have a budget, so I don't want to spend too much for an i7 either). Thanks for the suggestion about the cooler, but were I currently live, the Cryorig M9i takes ages to be delivered, so I think I'm going to leave the Hyper 212 Evo in my rig. Anyways, I will get a PSU with lower wattage, since I acknowledge that 750w is way too much, even for upgrades.

Thanks to everyone who replied.
 


Thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to get the 8GB version of the RX 480, but I won't get the i5-7600k, since I don't plan on overlclocking.
