Hello everyone!
I decided for multiple reasons that I want to build my first computer and since I am a noob to most of the components and stuff I wanted to ask how this build is. I will do Video-Editing (Sony Vegas, basic) and Light-Gaming (Gmod, Rust and Minecraft). It would be very nice if you could help me by giving me some advice. The computer is really all the money I have at the moment and I cannot purchase anything more expensive than 810$.
I am really not sure enough if the GPU and CPU will be good enough for video-editing and I wanted to know if I could get anything better than this build with the money or maybe save money somewhere. I am open to suggestions and hope to find some good advice. Thank you! Note: I will hopefully purchase a SSD bye the end of the year which I will integrate.
