550$ Editing PC

[Mohenjo]

So a friend of mine is building an editing rig for 550 dollars. Any suggestions? im kinda out of my league here. he doesnt need anything except the PC and wants to be able to use adobe premier and some live streaming. and maybe some low end gaming. (skyrim at the most).

Maybe something with a locked i5 and a gtx 750 ti?

Slightly over budget but good for his needs. Tell me if you need me to lower the cost.
