My brother needs a pc for gaming (lite) and uploading/editing videos for YouTube.

By lite gaming I mean like minecraft or league of legends.

Preferably in the 600$ range but it can be flexible.

I live In the US and would prefer my parts from newegg, micro center or amazon.

It shouldn't be a problem but you can switch to a different case the case is really a personal prefrence b/c of the differences in aesthetics. My personal favorite is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... but it doesnt have front usb 3.0 which is why i didnt include it. If thats not a problem and he likes how this on looks, than he can go with this one.
