If you're formally an engineer, avoid responsibility. That's what senior engineers get paid for.

Thanks, is amd better for video edting or rendering

this amd cpu is an 8 core, but still i'd advice you to get a bit more money together and get a new i5 and mobo etc. this will mean that you are a bit more 'future proof'

Worth going skylake for video editing

with this budget, no

but if you try to get more money then i'd advice going with the newest items you can affort. this because you can upgrade later with stuf that is not outdated.

what you could also do is get a 1151 celeron, and get an i5 asap, or just wait till you have enough to buy the i5
