Hello there!,
I am wanting to build a computer for editing and gaming in the 500 - 600 $ range and I am wondering what would be the best for the price in terms of cpu,gpu,ram,etc. I would like a really good computer that I could render videos with rather quickly and be able to play some higher end games (skyrim,sleeping dogs,gta 4) Any help would be much appreciated!
you're not gonna get a strong editing rig with $600 first off... that's a low-mid tier bang for your buck gaming rig price range... what programs do you use for video editing?
most programs for video editing use CUDA accel...
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Gwuv this is about as good as you can get for $5-600 barring whether the heatsinks will clear the cooler?
If you want to step up to about $700 or more on the build you would get a huge improvement, until then trying to get a super strong Apu may be a good option. If you wanted to go that way, here's a build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2GwxA
Thanks for the quick response! I use programs such as adobe premiere pro,photoshop and after effects. Btw @DrukenPanda yeah that's pretty good! since I have a 1tb hard drive lying around so I could spend a little more on the cpu
