Need help picking parts.

So im about to build my first pc. I used to play xbox, record and edit it and post it on youtube, I'm tired of xbox and selling it to continue my channel on pc games my old pc is crap and too costly to upgrade so im looking for input on an amd build for about $450 using an amd phenom II black edition i am taking my 500gb hdd and dvd rom drive i need a good case psu ram and a graphics card capable of capturing and later editing it with vegas pro im not going to be streaming though. Any advice would be great.

i would look at something like this. i would get the newer fx-6300 instead of the phenom II 965. its 6 cores could help with video editing/encoding.

thank you for your response

 

[jonjonjon]

if you could squeeze more money to get the 7850 with 2GB of memory that would also help you.

honestly i was gonna downgrade the gpu to the 7770 because this a little more on the high end of my budget

 

[jonjonjon]

you could get the Phenom II X4 965 for $95 and put that $35 towards the 7850.

or there is the 650ti for $134 its in between the 7770 and the 7850.
