Hello everyone

I want to build a computer with a budget of 600-700$ with the os. i would like to play games at 60 fps and i edit on vegas pro 12. I want to be able to run on full hd and i want to keep my systeme for 3-5 years. What are your suggestions? I live in canada so the prices arent the same than in the us

I say opt for a g3258 because you can step up to an i5/7 later on down the road while still maintaining a solid performing gpu and a solid cpu for gaming.
