Sorry, thinking and writing effectively seems difficult today for some reason.
My last post asked if I could/should use an existing case or buy a new one instead, which has been addressed in other posts, however I think I'll just throw the build criteria out there and see what people come up with. Honestly I don't want to spend too much time on this, but if building it myself saves me, say 30%, compared to buying an ready-to-run system (used or not), I might be up for it. If the savings are not significant, I'd rather pay the $50 extra dollars (for example) and have everything ordered through one website rather than having to sign up for 4 different stores. Less assembly time is a plus.
- $500 budget
- monitor included (ideally)
- may use existing PC case, but not required:

- purpose: novice to intermediate video editing (and plenty of reliable* storage for all the raw video)
*I understand this can get quite expensive, so this may be something I'll have to compromise on
Thank you!
