$700 Gaming / Editing Computer

[Synthetic-Pulse]

Looking to build a $700 Gaming / Editing computer for a friend. We all ready have a copy of windows 10 64 bit home. The $700 is for the tower only.

Any form factors in mind? Or any cases you like? Any color schemes you like?

 

[Synthetic-Pulse]

Color does not matter and we would prefer a ATX build.

I know it's a 6100, but that's all I can fit in the budget with intel and still keep a 1060 (1070 doesn't fit either, and you want NVIDIA for CUDA Acceleration)

[Synthetic-Pulse]

I think we can go cheaper on the mother board and put that money else where

Never use that PSU, get a Seasonic s12II 520, CX550M, or at least an EVGA 500B

Just a note, you are using a Micro ATX board and ATX Mid tower case, they'll work together, but it will look odd. Also, for editing you will want 16Gb, I've HEARD THAT 8GB doesn't work the greatest for video editing.

an i5 and 8G will destroy an i3 no matter how much ram you slap on it.

 

For the matx board in atx case: looks over performance.

That's why I said I heard it. I do not know if these are true and I haven't tested these theories.
