[DjBladerunner]

hi. so i wanna build a pc been watching lots of videos, picking out parts, and stuff. I would like to see if anyone could help me to choose the parts.
Requirements:
-Video editing ( sony Vegas, After Effects,Pinnacle Studio, and Camtasia Studio)
-Play Minecraft atleast 60fps
-Web Browsing
-Decent Rendering Speed
I am in a strict budget $500 is the max but anything a bit lower would be amazing.
I doubt its enough for a video card so I will start saving up for one.
I live in the California, U.S. so the companies that i prefer are TigerDirect, NewEgg, and Micro Center.
Parts Required:
-processor
-motherboard
-ram
-dvd burner
-Windows 7 home premium 64bit
-case
-power
-Hardrive (prefer 500gb)

if u have any questions ill be happy to answer.
THX 4 the feedback

I would find building a rendering box quite outta my realm of experiences with a $500 budget ..... I usually advise a 2600k, 8-16GB of fast RAM and fast HD's such as the Barracuda XT's.

That is a tight one ... I am on it...

Questions:
1 You going Red (AMD) or Blue (Intel)?*

2 Do you have a ATX case you can reuse?** (I have spec'd with the hope you can)

3 Do You want to over clock? (The below is spec'd for that)


I don’t know if it can be done... not with seven and an okay GFX, I have just spent an hour on Newegg and tiger, seems too tight... $590- $600 we can do better. But for now here it is the best for price and performance:

Built to price and performance for your video editing more cores you have the better normally. The 8120 is not far off the 8150 which performs much like the i5 2500k. For most things there is little difference other than price between the 8120 and the 8150. I think $50 more and you can get a much better MB with 4 Ram slots dimms and a fulll 500gb new hard drive. $20 will get you a just the new hard drive.

For minecraft the 6770 will be fine. But if you want Intel Let me know we can try for a i5 but I dont think a i5 XXXXk is possible,
it could cut it down to 6100... $526.92. But at $600 we can get a much better unit.

I hope your not too devoted to the Intel Idea other wise I just tried to sell a dog to a cat person.
