I'm trying to build my own pc and I want you to recommend me good items. From good to least, I'll tell you for what I want the PC. Gaming, 3D Animation (Rendering), Video Editing, Downloading. I have seen comments saying that intel is good for video editing and animation and AMD for gaming but I want a CPU that works for all of these "stuffs". Do not include mouse, keyboard, hard drive, OS, DVD driver and cpu cooler.

The thing is that there is nothing like Intel is good for Video Editing stuff and AMD for gaming. It really depends on the budget. On a budget of like 80 dollars AMD is the king with its Athlon II X4 750K and the Phenom II X4 965BE CPU's and at that price points no CPU of Intel even comes close. And at about 100-120 dollars, Intel Core i3 3220 is a good option but I prefer the 6300 as future games would be better on it.

As the budget increases to about 180-200 dollars. Things start to change for Intel. The i5's are one of the most powerful processors for Gaming, but for Video Editing, the AMD FX 8350 (or cheaper 8320) are the best options for Video Editing and stuff. So there is nothing like that a CPU from this company is good in a certain thing. It mostly depends on the price range and the individual preferences and uses.

Anyways, for 1300 dollars, you can build a beast gaming and Video Editing rig. Would post it soon is about 10 minutes.

About the builds can you put the prices for newegg because If I have the change I'll buy it from there. Also, how about if I change the case for this one. NZXT source 210 s210-001 black ATX Mid Tower and adding this SSD ADATA XPG SX900 256GB Sata III.

The Source 210 is not even close to the Corsair 500R in terms of performance. It is a good case but the 500R is the best one.

Also if you change the links to Newegg one then it might go above the budget.

Get that SSD if you have the money for it. Are you including that in the 1300 dollar budget or that is extra added cost outside of the 1300 dollars.

Also, can you tell me what is your budget including the SSD. I mean it is a pretty expensive component.

Well, the total I want is 1500 including the mouse, monitor an hdd but I will but them later. I said 1300 for the system but separate with the other things like mouse, hdd monitor is 1500. The other things I will buy it from amazon and the monitor from best buy in total it will cost me like $300... I want tht 256 GB because I want to use that memory for the system not for gaming. I think that if you do a little change for the build of 1200 the total price I have to paid ill be lower than 1600.

So, you basically want everything a computer needs for under 1500-1600 dollars. Okay, might be a bit difficult but let's see what I can do.

Anyways do you plan on overclocking and doing SLI? This is important to know to reduce the price of the build.

Okay, so for 1600 dollars this is the build in which no performance and quality was reduced. Just tried to fit all the good parts for a reasonable price.

Note : The Keyboard + Mouse were selected as the cheapest possible but still fit for use. Because they are easily changeable so you can change it later in the future very easily. So for now get this Keyboard + Mouse. Also the keyboard looks good. It is slim, and looks classy. But yeah, you can change that later for your liking. These would get your build up and running.

You can leave the monitor, dvd driver, mouse and keyboard away because I already have it ready to buy it. Try doing this and add 90 dollar (Monitor I'm going to buy) and change the SSD of 256GB the one I show you before. In total I got 1,4600 without mouse, dvd driver, keyboard.

Anyways, you should not get a monitor any less than this for gaming. I mean man.. for 90 dollars the monitor would be crap for gaming. This is a very good monitor which is 23.6 inch screen with 2ms of response time which is ideal for gaming and also it has got very bright screen (as per the specifications). So you should not get a monitor any less than this for such a good build.

Also tell me what HDD and Monitor are you going for. I need to know this.

Anyways here is the build with Monitor and HDD included

It is highly recommended to go for a good monitor as it is a thing which can be used again and again even 10 years after you haave built it. So you should get a good monitor at the very first place. Monitor is not something I would say to spend less on. I mean you should have a good monitor otherwise you would not be satisfied with your build.

I hope this helps. Please don't forget to mention which HDD and Monitor you are going for? Let me review how it should be.

I like the first one but I haven't told you why I preffer newegg. I don't like to buy expensive stuff like motherboard, graphic card or CPU on amazon because they don't have warranty. Newegg gives you from 2 to 3 years for this items, each.
