need help with a editing pc!

[coolluc787]

I need help with a new pc, I really want to to look simple. I would like a quick to build. I have already posted one like a year back and I think it might be outdated. I will be using led strips, I think if they are magnetic that would be awesome if anyone has any ideas on what I should use. I also want to have a 1 or 2 TB hard drive and a intel ssd

 

1. Budget & Location

$400-$600 US 

2. Aim

must be able to run photoshop, premiere pro and a little bit of after effects 

3. Monitors

one 1080p, also a 720p?

4. Peripherals

all I need is Windows 8.1 or 10.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I'm on a late 2007 27 inch imac, and I just need a upgrade

I had this one saved for a bit but it doesnt include the monitors or windows. I'm not sure if you can get a good setup with 2 monitors around that budget range. If you could try to add another $100 then yes that may work.

Maybe this? 

You could possibly downgrade the GPU to a 750 Ti if needed to save more money.

Well then just buy a low end GPU later, or you said you had some more cash so buy one one a 250 2GB is $60 right now, it'll also speed up rendering a bit if you enable GPU acceleration. the iGPU will let you do some lower end gaming anyways.

As you can easily get an i7 6700 with 16gbs of RAM for that budget, or get a haswell based Xeon 1231v3 for about $100 less though I'd probably say it's worth it to get the bit of performance with this i7 and get USB 3.1.

250 GPU

Or did you mean to say you needed to include monitors with the build?
