Can Anyone Do Better? ($700 Gaming PC)

[steelteal]

Hi, I am planning on building this PC below in a few months and I want to know if it is good for the amount of money spent. It will be used for editing in Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects, and Cinema 4D. I will have 3 monitors, 1 being 1080p HD. If anyone can build a better PC (around $700) that can run Minecraft at 60+ FPS while recording and can watch YouTube videos in 1080p HD without lag, then please post below. I do, however, want to keep the 32GB of RAM.

you dont need that much RAM
get a 2 x4 gig kit of 1600 MHz
a game is a 32 bit program and will only use AT MOST 3.3 gig

If you also changed the processor to the 8320 [ and just OC to 8350 speeds yourself ] you could include a 120 gig SSD to use as a boot drive

alternately use that money to upgrade the graphics card to a 7870

In my opinion, the FX-8320 cpu proves to be the best value from the eight core amd cpus, also change the ram for 16GB, you probably have the windows 7 home premium os, for 32GB you need the pro, i also don't see a reason besides a ram disk to utilize 32GB, so just get 16GBm it will prove more than enough for what you described.
Also get an aftermarket cooler for the cpu, like the hyper 212 evo.
