Recommended build for PC Gaming and 4k Video editing under $2500aud

[Vivienne_2]

Hi there, I want to build a pc that runs games very well for example: CS:GO and League of Legends at around 150~200+ FPS. I also want the computer to edit 4k videos smoothly as well. I am not an expert, but the computer I am using right now for video editing is not good because say I use Camtasia studio, it buffers and lags ALOT making it impossible to edit videos on. My budget is around $1500 ~ $2500aud.

I've been wondering if building a pc is better than buying a Mac straight up. Also I will leave my specs down below to see if I can save a little bit if the specs are suitable for this build. Please help thankyou 😀

SPECS:
Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
Processor - Intel core i7 cpu
Memory - 12288MB RAM
(This is all I know, if you need more information please reply)

Thankyou! P.S I will need a very good cooling system (Not watercooling) for hours end of editing!

It comes within your budget, and will be able to smash through video editing, and you can get a slight overclock with the air cooler, a GTX 1070 if you allow GPU boost while rendering and video editing, and 32GB of RAM (That can be reduced), so it would be very easy to both render and record on this. I also just went with a sleek white build, because why not. It looks good. The case should allow quite a lot of air flow and cooling, so it will keep it quiet and cool. I did not include any extra case fans, but you can easily pick them with your own accord.
