Looking to build a computer because it's cheaper than buying a pre-built one. I'm looking to do a bit of GoPro video editing, and I want to be able to easily go on youtube without it being awfully slow. As for gaming, not looking for the best, just a low pro. card that can atleast get through Minecraft 60+

That's about it, thanks for the help! Not looking to get a dual core btw, they're going out of style.

Slightly over but great for your video editing and can handle most games out there. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RK32YJ

I added some extra fans to this one if you wanted better cooling/airflow but you can choose not to get the extra fans if you move one of the fans in the case to the front as an intake. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2rrxNG


I made this list for overall good quality and not just a great CPU or GPU with low end parts everywhere else. You get good RAM, a great PSU, a great CPU for editing (and gaming too), a case that is not garbage, a CPU cooler that will be quiet and work well, a motherboard that is good for overclocking and is just a good choice, a reliable HDD, and quiet fans.

Overall this system is good. It can handle...

Hehe, I feel for you; the computer you must have ATM, if Flash is causing an issue... Lolz! xD

Oh and just btw., no matter what ppl tell you 'bout (AMD) Athlon ^^ and if you're lookin' to do ANY sort of editing / rendering / encoding, decoding; it's - pretty much - useless (no joke, though :)); you just *gotta* go w/Intel && shell out teh big bucks, IMO. ;-$

Overall this system is good. It can handle many upgrade, larger coolers, better CPU's, etc.

If you would like an even better CPU, look for deals on the 8350 and 8320.
