Editing and Light Gaming PC

[PauseTheCat]

This will be my first build and I'm looking for a pc that I can use to do some editing of 20min videos and some gaming with Rocket League, Ark, etc. I'm really trying to keep it in the $1000 range and I would like it to be only black and white. The only exception is the gpu; However, it has a black and white back plate. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the r9 280x is better then the r9 380 if you want to go for that instead

EDIT: wait maybe not depending on prices for you

You really don't need a cooler for a locked CPU, and the same goes for a Z series board. If you want to in the future, just slap an aftermarket cooler on it

The Nitro 380 is the closest I could find to black, so dark grey would do.. How do you fancy Black/White with a small gold accent on the mobo @PauseTheCat?

Get a cheap Air Cooler,

A BeQuiet! Pure Rock is probably the best you can get for $30-$35. Not like you can overclock the 1231v3.

Thats about it...

[dunde]

dont you think 16gb of ram will suit editing better?
why z97 mobo? your cpu will not overclock, and you are not buying a nvidia card, so no need for sli (premium) as for the cf, most mobo feature it...

The color is amazing. It's a stupid reason but I want to make sure the build looks good.

I might just stick with the MSI Krait because there isn't a huge price difference. Thanks.
