New Computer Build - $800

[chrico25]

Hello community!

 

I have recently acquired enough money to buy a decent pc(I think). My budget is $800 and I need it for heavy gaming, as well as editing videos, and recording. I dont really know what to get or if i am overpaying but I am trying to get this computer to last a while before I need important upgrades, hopefully you guys can make some good suggestions, and if you would be so kind to leave a pc build for me, anyway, thanks for reading!

Since you are editing videos, 16GB of ram might be needed and hyperthreading will be a nice feature aswell.

The CPU cooler is mostly because it looks better than the stock cooler, but it is also quieter.

Even though it's a bit over budget, the R9 390 would help a lot for gaming.

Thanks! I have a few questions as well, do I need a separate part to be able to play on wifi? Also, can I choose any kind of Mid Tower Case and it would be compatible?

Yes

Would this work, even though it is past the budget? Also, is the wireless adapter a hard thing to add into the build?

Should still probably go for WD or HGST drives, also don't buy OEM windows keys as you can only use those once

 

and you don't need the after market cooler

 

and you should probably go for a bit higher end board like the H97 above

and you could always get the SSD later to get the price down.

You can choose any ATX sized case and it should fit.

I'd choose this wifi card because it is PCIe and it has every band that you could possibly want ATM

Toshiba makes HGST's (Hitachi and IBM) 3.5" HDDs and Fujitsu's HDDs

WD makes HGST's (Hitachi and IBM) 2.5" HDDs.

Seagate makes Samsung's and Maxtor's HDDs
