I'm building a new pc for editing and light gaming and wanted to know any good lower cost cpu and mobo combos so I don't go with something stupid. I'm trying to spend less then 600 on the whole pc. Thank you in advance

By editing, are you referring to video editing? What programs would you use in your workflow? Depending on this, you may benefit in a high core count and the Ryzen CPU lineup may be the way to go.

What is the exact software you use? Some like high core count while others only care about single core frequency.

 

Also, what's the currency? 600 pounds is a lot more than 600 rupees

600 what?

USD,CAD,AUD they are all different.

even if it were 600 USD you'd be in a VERY tight budget, 800 would be much more comfortable and 1000 will get you a good PC

Hi. It's 600 CAD I'm trying for but I can stretch that out if needed. I'm also using HitFilm Express for my editing

its little hard to fit in your budget. you need a gpu with 4gb vram afaik for 4k uhd editing. Don't step down from the gpu because hitFilm relies a lot on the GPU for rendering certain things. If you can stretch a little more get ryzen 5 1400/1600. rest of components should be fine.
