(HELP) First Time Building

Mr.Clarkson · May 26, 2015

Hi guys, I have been looking at building a video editing and little gaming for the last few days. I've never built my own rig, but have helped a friend before.

Here is a link to the current state of the build in pc part picker = http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fqfdP6

My Budget is about $600

I still confused about the graphics card. I'm working with Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and I want to play GTA V and Watch Dogs. I know for some reason Nvidia is good for Adobe Application, because of the CUDA cores. So what graphics card is match with my work and games?

Thanks!

Hey its not worth it to build a rig with a 600budget especially for a videoediting and gaming rig its just not worth it

My system is around £500. I can edit and play games at 720p@60fps.. while using a gtx 560.

I recommend the GTX 960 for a budget like this. However you might want to wait till the price falls a bit. I got my GTX 760 for £140, it's now £210.

@X_Rated_Box said you aren't going to get any performance for what you want. Save up some money so you can get some good hardware for what you are wanting.

720p is a thing of the past, it's nothing to be proud of. You would be lucky to even boot up GTA, if you could play it, you'd be lucky to push 30fps on medium.

Well for editing I understand go with 720p because to me for youtube there is hardly a difference for 1080 and 720, so why take the extra time to render 1080. But the playing part I understand what you are going with here.

I don't play GTA 5. I've finished the game on console Also online is stupid Everyone leaves heists and no one finishes them. Who cares if 720p is old. At least I play games. I don't have 1080p monitor. I've got 900p which is fine for me.
