Im looking for a desktop PC that I can either build or buy complete, I just want it to be worth the money. I have a budget of around $500 and I hope to play games and edit videos on it for youtube. It doesn't have to be too high end, I want to play league of legends, and minecraft at high settings with some mods possibly. Do any of you have a suggestion on a certain build? Thanks in advance.

No, do not get that build for minecraft. An i3 will be WAY better than the Athlon as Minecraft is based on per-core performance not number of cores. LoL is the same way.

I STRONGLY recommend an i3 here.

Get 2x4gb RAM, not a single stick.

Also the PSU is not good. Change to an XFX, Antec, Seasonic unit 500w+.

This build will play minecraft at 60fps with 50 mods I tested it once. Also league of legends at 60fps 720p or 1080p. Be sure to select best answer as it helps other people.

He plays league of legends which is a 4 core demanding game. So an i5 here would be strongly recommended. Also corsair CX is great for that build and works fine as it's corsair and Seasonic is made by corsair and XFX is made by Seasonic so its the same quality.
