After so many months of changing my budget from $600 to $700 to $1000 to $1200 and finally settling at $500. I've now ordered the first two parts of my first Gaming PC. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Poker1059/saved/Nfpscf .  This PC will be used mainly for playing and recording Minecraft and other games, and using some program (either Sony Vegas or Premier Pro) to edit and render the videos. But all in all I feel like it's going to be a nice first ever gaming PC for me, tell me what you think. And please don't just start dropping part lists, I'd much rather hear what you think about it and why.

750 ti is a pretty weak card, i would try to look at something more along the lines of a 380, 960, 285 or 280x.. even if you buy them used

No 120gb hdd/ssd should be used for a boot drive if you game or do video content....it gets filled too quickly.

 

Everything else looks good.

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.

Personally, I would get a larger SSD. At least 240GB, preferably 500GB. I have a 120GB one and it's such a pain in the ass installing programs on a second drive, setting up symbolic links and requiring both drives to boot. It's not worth the hassle.

Go with a single 8gb stick as it gives you more ram slots to upgrade

Go with a r7 265 which is cheaper and more powerful than a 750ti

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
