Occasionally will video edit.

I apologize, I forgot to mention that I was considering getting a Y40 or building a PC, and I would prefer a smaller tower, if I were to build a PC. I plan to be going to LAN parties, and may have to be moving out of US (Higher Electricity Costs).

no seagate harddrives!!

[KenCat]

Would a AMD Athlon X4 860K be a good CPU in this case?

Graphics > CPU to a degree, also the i3 has Hyperthreading which helps it A LOT, making it a semi quadcore.

It will also not be bottlenecked at all.

[Johannes_Lazor]

Here is a pretty small computer, Might be a little expensive, If you drop down to a 1tb harddrive and go down to a R9 270(Dont get the 270x, It is the same but overclocked from factory)
You should rech down to the sub 600.

Your gaming and editing will benefit from the 6-core CPU. Windows can be bought from microsoftsoftwareswap on reddit.

Would a AMD Athlon X4 860K be a good CPU in this case?

nope, the i3 is by far superior

I made some modifications, is this good? I recently learned I have to get a monitor for the PC.

[KenCat]

Any thoughts on the Silverstone SG13? Is it smaller to the Thermaltake?

Why not just get an apu if you are not doing anything above 720p. I hate to be this guy but why not save another 200 dollars and do a proper 1080p build?

Actually I'm not going for the best graphics, but I would like to be able to run the new games at least medium would be nice. I can even live with minimum graphics if need be. Can an APU handle Witcher 3? Though I like the 1150, as I may in the future go for a better CPU in the Haswell architecture.

i know, but the i5 is more future proof

[SkywardKkalox]

There is nothing future proof in technology. Period.

There is only the now and the past.

[KenCat]

Would an APU be able to do new games on low?

[CoolaxGaming]

no seagate harddrives!!

why not?

I feel pretty good of this build, any adjustments I should do? I am planning to use the reddit threat to get the windows key, so thats why the OS is ~$25.
