Hi people,im saving up money to build a PC setup.But right now,im looking for the PC itself.I will primarly be using it for video editing (im a newbie/casual video editor),some gaming and web browsing.I want it to be capable of running video editors like Vegas Pro and Hitfilm,[strike]be capable of 4K video editing[/strike] and the rendering process to not take a while.It will also be a big advantage if it can run photo editors like Photoshop. About gaming now,I will be playing online games and some Steam games like Cities:Skylines and others.Hopefully a budget of $500 will allow all that stuff.Parts to be included:

-CPU
-CPU Cooler
-Motherboard (Preferably to have at least 2 RAM slots)
-GPU/Video card
-Memory (RAM to be at least 8gb)
-Storage (Preferably at least 1TB)
-Case
-Power Supply

I will keep my eye on the Operating System later,but if you want to include that and/or the Optical drive,include them (no problem if the sume passes the $500,but just don't make it a big difference)

That memory is listed wrong by that seller on Amazon (macti ti) , we don't recommend cheap power supplies especially for a editing PC where everything will be stressed.

Well it's not a big problem if it can't afford 4K anyways.

For 4K editing and gamine this would be really more like it using the small SSD for a scratch drive.
