Help needed with purchasing a pc

[Bosslkp]

Hello everyone, I’m in search of a new computer that would I’ll be able to firstly do video editing and secondly I’ll be able to game on. I know the prices or GPUs has skyrocketed lately so building a custom rig is rather expensive but this is needed. My budget is roughly $2500 USD. Any and all suggestions would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

$2500USD is a fairly large budget. You will have no problem finding a gaming/ editing rig.  If you get a used computer, you can get a much better rig. (could get one with 3080)

Why does it need to be a DYI?

If you need a GPU right now (no 3080 prebuilts were in budget): https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali473/p/N82E16883360058?Description=rtx 3070 prebuilt&cm_re=rtx_3070 prebuilt-_-83-360-058-_-Product&quicklink=true
 

stick another 16gb of ram in there and you should be set

If yoiu can afford to wait your best option would be a 5900x + 3080 for 2500 USD, but neither are in stock

@Bosslkp If you buy an used computer. Make the hell sure that the gpu isnt throttling. That would be a shame.

That was my thought pattern as well, but I'm trying to buy everything new to avoid the risk of a fault part or end of life SSD/HDD.

It doesn't need to be DIY but honestly if the GPU issue didn't exist I would've just built it myself.

At this point waiting does not seem like the right move (in my opinion) because more people are becoming interested in getting new PCs an the supply has not increased .

It seems like the prebuilt just came out of stock. It rolls in and out of stock, but unlike graphics cards you don’t need to be there two minutes after it drops, just ocassionaly check for it twice or so a day.
