I'm planning on building my first pc and want to know what you think of this build. Would it all work? What would you change to make it better or cheaper? There is no hard drive because I already have a 500Gb HDD and 500Gb SSD. I'm wanting something to game on with decent graphics and fairly quickly render video, 3D models, etc. My budget is around $650 but the cheaper the better while keeping performance.
