I have a friend whose laptop just crapped out and needs a new PC. I recommended a desktop, and offered to build it. She's on a budget, though she never told me what the limit was, so I opted to keep it under $1000, max $1500 if anything else is needed. And she needed the monitor too, which is why that's on the list. In my understanding, the CPU is what handles video encoding and rendering, not so much a GPU, which is why that part is cut out. However, being that this is my first time building a workstation PC, i don't feel like I know enough about it. Is this a good build for CGI video editing/rendering, or what parts need to be swapped?
