Hey guys, I've been asked to come up with a budget video editing machine for under £300. Here's what I came up with:

Any Suggestions? Please note I am limited to the budget, so please don't suggest anything more expensive and also, I only use Amazon and Scan due to free 1-day shipping.

 

Thanks

To be honest it nearly does when it comes to buying parts. We pay so much more over here.

I think that's about as fast of a machine as you can get for £300

Yeah, I think APU is the way to go. The money saved getting a CPU doesn't allow for a halfway decent GPU.

I know, the guy I'm building it for knows that too, but it's gonna be better than his 3 year old notebook.

It's best not to use Toshiba drives if you can help it.
