Hey guys, I've been reading the past 10-20 pages here and putting bits and pieces together for a computer i'm trying to buy.
I don't have too large of a budget... students.. haha. But, I'm trying to keep within the 600$ range.
I don't do hard core gaming just simple things like DOTA, League of legends, but on low quality settings.
I would also like a build that can handle multitasking fairly well in terms of simple video converting/editing and mass downloading haha
Sofar this is what i've got. I am up for lots of suggestions into what I should upgrade/downgrade etc. I do plan to do future upgrades, so if that means having to invest a bit more to last longer, that's fine!
Thanks guys!

The total would be around 800$. Is there anything that is unnecessary for which I could probably settle with a downgrade?
Thanks guys! Being a noobie at building PC's, I really appreciate it!
