editing / gaming PC build for a Friend (~600USD)

[NyxeonFX]

I have a pcpartpicker made up already and would like some revisions on it if possible

She is looking for a PC for Video Editing and Gaming for nothing over 600 USD, (pretty slim eh?)

And yeah that's about it!

Here's the link ; https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dgQ7tJ

Thanks in advance.

At that price, well.. its mostly the best you can get.. but try to get an SSD instead... it is soooo much faster than an hdd.. your entire system will be stuck at the hdd speed

 

maybe like get a 120 gb ssd and a 1 tb hdd ?

it should only add 60$ max to the build. you could even source one used for half the price

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($109.89 @ OutletPC) 
Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B350M-A/CSM Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($69.99 @ Amazon) 
Memory: G.Skill - Aegis 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory  ($77.99 @ Newegg)

Spend $20 more for the Prime B350-Plus if you want a better/nicer mobo. I'd try to spend an extra $30 on the case for a Phanteks Eclipse P300. Maybe grab a used GTX 960(same performance as a 1050Ti) for $100 or GTX 970 for $150.

I recently heard about Intel's Optane Memory, is that a viable option?

SCRATCH THAT it won't work with Ryzen im slow

I think it works with intel only,

 

I dont know much about it, but i wouldnt worry about that at all..

 

Just get enough memory, and SSD and it will be fast. Of course the ryzen 3 is the weakest of the ryzen, but its hard to do better with ur budget
