Hello,
I'm extremely new when it comes to computers when it comes to how they work, and their components. I've been thinking about buying a new computer to accommodate the few games I currently play (Minecraft, RS, LoL) as well as be powerful enough to run newer games from Steam, should I choose to go down that route. My new PC will also be used for College, which I start in the coming months, as well as video editing/uploading.
That being said, I've been doing some research and have come to the conclusion that it's cheaper to build a PC than buy one. The only problem is that until this morning I didn't even know that power supply made a difference, that's just how uneducated I am in this aspect. After reading a bit, I found a (seemingly) good build on a $600 budget. This is kind of perfect for me as it would leave room to still buy 2 matching monitors in my budget.
The build is the $600 build in this article:

Is this indeed a good build for the possibility of gaming, along with schoolwork and video streaming/editing/uploading? If not, help along the road would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
