I think so far for now 400 to 500$

I wil work on saving that much up   then plan to upgrade some  year later 

For that much you're not going to get much. For around $7-800 you can get a decent dedicated GPU.

 

EDIT- Oh, and welcome!

what is a good mother board and case and power supply  to get and cpu

Get something like an amd 8 core. Great for video editing and is cheap. Just get any well respected brands for ur other stuffs. However u will need a gpu with the 8 core (no igpu) so i would get 2nd hand graphics card.

hello!

is it me you're looking for?

ᴾC SᴾeCS ᴰoWᴺ ᴮEᴸoW

Spoiler

Desktop: X99-PC

CPU: i7 5820k

Mobo: X99 Deluxe

Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3

RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1080

Storage: 1TB 850 Evo, 1TB HDD, bunch of external hard drives
PSU: EVGA G2 750w

Peripherals: Logitech G502, Ducky One 711

Audio: Xonar U7, O2 amplifier (RIP), HD6XX

Monitors: 4k 24" Dell monitor, 1080p 24" Asus monitor

 

Laptop:

-Overkill Dell XPS

Fully maxed out early 2017 Dell XPS 15, GTX 1050 4GB, 7700HQ, 1TB nvme SSD, 32GB RAM, 4k display. 97Whr battery :x 
Dell was having a $600 off sale for the fully specced out model, so I decided to get it :P

 

-Crapbook

Fully specced out early 2013 Macbook "pro" with gt 650m and constant 105c temperature on the CPU (GPU is 80-90C) when doing anything intensive...

A 2013 laptop with a regular sized battery still has better battery life than a 2017 laptop with a massive battery! I think this is a testament to apple's ability at making laptops, or maybe how little CPU technology has improved even 4+ years later (at least, until the recent introduction of 15W 4 core CPUs). Anyway, I'm never going to get a 35W CPU laptop again unless battery technology becomes ~5x better than as it is in 2018.

Apple knows how to make proper consumer-grade laptops (they don't know how to make pro laptops though). I guess this mostly software power efficiency related, but getting a mac makes perfect sense if you want a portable/powerful laptop that can do anything you want it to with great battery life.

Here's a list. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zfx7K8 There are some video's and reviews on how a Athlon x4 860k, GTX 950 rig performs and I think it'd be nice for even heavy gaming. If you really do not need that much gpu horse power than here's an APU build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fyQpXL
