This is an idea for a PC that I would like to build for below $500 (with Windows 10) to use for very low end video editing, homework and games such as, Starcraft 2,

Is it any good?

Ugh. Please use http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ It's much easier to work with. Also, DO NOT choose radimax. Very bad PSUs and unreliable.

See if you can swing a 750ti or 950. The 750ti can be had for as low as $100 on the right day. It's regularly 120. While the 950 is $150.

You're better off either using just an APU or using a single higher end GPU.

oh and also the sshd hibrid is the worst possible thing to get

 

8 gb ssd space is good for nothing, you can't store anything on it to access faster( i mean games obv.), i would rather buy a simple hdd and later if you have money a ssd

I think they have something called "Dual Graphics" or something to that extant, which is like Crossfire but between the APU and a GPU.

If you don't know the answer to OP's question, don't answer with an assumption, it's very annoying

The SSD portion is used as a cache to store things like system files, so using an SSHD as the operating system drive would actually give you a solid overall performance advantage over an HDD.

 

You are correct though that 8GB isn't much, and the user does not have the option to choose what can be stored on the SSD portion.

Would going for an asus 750 ti be good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121855&cm_re=750ti-_-14-121-855-_-Product ?

 

well you won't be able to play AAA games in high setting now, and in the future.... well i would try and get at least a gtx 950

750 ti is enough for now at medium/ high setting but in 1-2 years.... better spend now 50$ more than buy a new 300$ gpu 2 years later again
