Get Windows 8.1 from G2A for $18

[aidenrelkoff]

for gaming only? get a AMD FX cpu

 

for $700 including OS($100)

 

start with my pc build, get a AMD FX-6300 instead of mine

and then instead of the gpu i have, get a GTX 770 or a R9 280x for around $250

[RandomGuy111]

What cpu is better, Fx-6300 or i5- 5560?

[heavygrounds]

What cpu is better, Fx-6300 or i5- 5560?

i5, you can't go wrong with an i5...

[BetterGamer]

What cpu is better, Fx-6300 or i5- 5560?

Personally I would go with the i5 but its completly up to you

[RandomGuy111]

i5, you can't go wrong with an i5...

I mean i5 4460

And would this cpu be good for video editing a bit?

[heavygrounds]

I mean i5 4460

And would this cpu be good for video editing a bit?

To a certain extent yes it will, for heavier video editing an i7 is ideal (but that might be outside of your budget). For video editing I would not recommend AMD personally.

Not too heavy editing, but it could handle a bit
