Sub $800 Gaming/ Editing Pc

[HunterH1012]

I've never built a PC before and I want my first build to have an amazing price to performance ratio. I'll mainly be playing CS:GO, Minecraft and other light games. I'll also be editing videos with premiere pro. It would be awesome if someone could help me out.

I put together a system for $800 that should be able to stream light games like Minecraft and CS:GO, it's a little bit over but you can get a worse PSU and change case for ascetics

I wold hold off on 32GB of RAM until you know you need it it.  Right now, DaVinci Resolve will not use more than 16GB of RAM when rendering.  

 

Try this on for size:

Not sure how much storage you need, so I'll let you pick out a Hard Drive, but that SSD is great.

The S12ii is old as dirt, missing protections and performs badly and a 2600 doesn't need a 240MM AIO for overclocking.

Right, the 620 works fine, but if you want something newer a Corsair CX will do fine as well.  Also, the 240 AiO serves as a frontal air intake as well, absolving the user of the need to buy intake fans.  The presence of the pump is also nice for if the user were to drop in a hotter CPU later in the systems life, or if the user wanted to take the 2600 all the way to 4.2 GHz.
