Is this PC build the best it can be for $500?

I watched this video:

I was wondering if it is the best it can be for 500. I would use it for gaming, recording, minimal video editing, and MAYBE streaming.

Thanks! And feel free to make changes, or show me a completely new build.

Read the article please. Skip to the benchmark pages.

OP said he/she will be editing, and the 4330 would be better.

Minor editing. I don't edit like OCE stuff. No need to worry about that.

This isn't getting anywhere. The core i3 4150 is a great choice, stick with it.

Ohh, I didn't know there was a benchmarks page before...

It's kinda hard to be relaxed when you feel like banging your head against the keyboard because some noob refuses to eliminate mail-in rebate savings...
We'll see what OP thinks.

Mail in rebates do count. At the end the product cost you less than the original price and usually mail -in rebates are some sort of credit card that you can use to buy things on the website/store. It is like going to the grocery to buy juice that costs 5$ and after you paid they give you 2$ . At the end , the Juice cost you 3$ NOT 5. So stop saying mail-in rebates are useless because it is a nice gift to get 75$ after buying a 600$ computer.

Next time , inform yourself about real life before INSULTING me.

I would take MIR when possible, but I would like to have a base price of 500 dollars or close to it. I already have a build figured out, thanks to everyone here.

Please no more arguing guys You all helped

Mail in rebates are jut annoying. They do work, but they are a pain. I have only even gotten back 50% of the ones I sent in and the ones I do get back take 1-3 months.

 

[Dat_Robot]

Even if it takes a year, you still get some money back...

1, I didn't insult you, the moderator would have said so.
2, THEY DO NOT APPLY TO THE CURRENT PURCHASE. You buy x item for x price, and then the company gives you a y$ credit to use on your NEXT purchase.
3, As stated above, they're annoying.
4, You won't even get 60$ out of a 75$ total rebate, I can guarantee that. Some companies issue ''rebates'' to get people like you to buy their stuff and don't give your ''rebate''.

Whather they work or not, they are still MONEY BACK. And whether they take 2 weeks or a year, they are still MONEY. That is the point. Some people don't mind the wait but others don't want to pay more upfront.

That's all there is to it.

Now drop it.

It's not really money...
It's more like credit.
Let's see if OP is willing to wait.

He said like 4 post up that he is fine with rebates but would still like the base price to be near $500....

Also that is not true that is it "credit". All rebates come in on prepaid VISA cards, check, or prepaid AMEX cards. This is how they ALL work. You just specify which you want. I always have a check made out to myself.

 

[zeyuanfu]

They do?
Credit card and checks still aren't money (if you think it's annoying, I'll stop)...

 

[tiny voices]

Yes. Stop. YOu are doing nothing but arguing for the sake of arguing.

"Checks and credit cards are not money". WHAT? You have no idea man. Sorry. How is a check in your name or a credit card with a $20 balance on it NOT money?

 

[Dat_Robot]

What are they if they are not money!!!

Just stop, you seems to have no more arguments.

 

[tiny voices]

Nor do you. Let's EVERYONE drop it. No more talking about rebates.

 

[Dat_Robot]

Okay. No more arguing.
