Hello everyone,

I am looking to build a personal workstation used for programming and light video rendering. I have built this but was wondering if there were any components that were better/cheaper. I don't want to spend more than 1,200 unless you think it is extremly benaficial.

Staying within your budget... and actually based off the price in PCPartPicker when I reviewed your build... This is a solid contender with a better balance on graphics... AND Cheaper.

The Rosewill Quark PSU is a very solid unit according to JonnyGuru. The Cryorig H7 is a better cooler than the 212 EVO. The Hitachi drive gives you an extra Terabyte of storage compared to the Seagate you chose, for the same price. In graphics, the RX-470 beats the 1050Ti, but you do have room in your budget to bump that up to a GTX-1060 or RX-480 or RX-580 and still be under $1200 USD.
