$800 Workstation Build

[Votivee]

It's my brother's freshman year of college, and he's majoring in video production. He's looking build a computer for video editing, and occasional gaming.

 

He has a budget of $800(USD) and this needs to include a monitor, windows (I have terrible luck with other "methods"), and a mouse and keyboard as well. 

 

Could anyone put together a pcpartpicker list for us please? Any help is appreciated

50 Dollars over, but I got everything on your list. Person above didn't put a Mouse, Keyboard, or Power Supply.

 

4 cores, multithreading, 16 Gigs of RAM, 1 TB HDD, 120 GB SSD.

The 1050ti should get him good frames in video games and be able to render video files relatively fast.

If you want to spend extra, give him a 1060 6GB.

I'd personally remove the cooler, since stock is good enough (especially for no OC)

you could also get windows 10 from kinguin for cheap.

1. He said he didn't want to use "other methods". (to get the OS). You're basically supporting scammers.

2. You have to pay extra for the cooler, and instead of doing that, why don't you get a better one? Rendering videos will run your system hot if you don't think about the parts correctly.

Edited your build a bit to put it under budget.

 

@Votivee, this is the build I'd recommend. if you can spend an extra $100, then upgrade to a 1060

If he wants, he can get W10 from Microsoft, but kinguin can save him money, and I've never heard of anyone who had their kinguin key not work.

 

you don't have to pay extra for the cooler. every R5 1400 comes with a stock cooler. the 212 Evo is better, but at stock speed, both coolers will be good, and neither will cause the CPU to throttle.
