Gaming/video editing

[Manar]

Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering if this is a good build for video editing first and then gaming. I use vegas pro 13 and plan on doing a little of gaming. I have a budget of 700$. I want this pc to last a long time between 3-5 years with no repairs. is this a good build?

if you're gonna use Sony vegas, swap that 760 for a 280 or anything equivalent in price on the AMD Side because they destroy nvidia cards in vegas.

i would recommend any seasonic made power supply, even if re-branded

For a lower budget build 500B is perfectly fine

If your focus is video editing, extra RAM may be necessary.

500B is made by HEC, and it's a great PSU for what it is. I've built PCs with them many times and never had an issue.

All AMD brands are pretty much just as good, with the exception of Sapphire who have the best warranty on the AMD side but their cards are a lot more expensive, and XFX who can go die in a pit of fire and acid.

 

I had a Club 3D 6970 before and it was a very solid card. They're like the Zotac of AMD.
