Help with building first pc

@[member="Bewbiez"] Do you know how to build a computer first off? Second off start with your motherboard and CPU. Get a decent case. Are you wanting to overclock or just run standard?

 

I went $100 over but worth it

What are you going to be using as the main focus? A video editing workstation can easily get to be more expensive than a gaming rig. Are you doing major HD editting?

 

 
it's easy. look up neweggs tutorial on youtube.
 
@[member="Vicious"] your build was good but the i would pick the Xeon over the i5 because the Xeon basically gives the performance of an i7 at an i5 price. As far as the storage goes normally i would agree with you but if he's going to be editing then he should have more storage and the rpm isn't a big deal when you're only using it for mass storage, it would be bad as a boot drive but that's what the ssd is for.
 

 

 
The Xeon is better for video editing and performs very similar to the i5 for gaming. The only downside to them is no overclocking, but an unlocked processor isn't really in your price range. You would have to downgrade other hardware that aren't really worth downgrading.

 

 
I linked the wrong one, I was helping my buddy build a 'budget' gaming rig and forgot to change it, that's why I editted out to a question, it didn't really apply to him, especially needing a monitor.
 
The reason I was asking is because if he was doing serious work I'd invest in higher processing, space and ram. Working in 1440p+ files is serious buisness, but I'm guessing that's not the case here.

get a fx 6300 or fx 8320 instead and a better gpu, at least a gtx 760. you'd be better off. if you're only doing light editing then 8gb of ram is probably enough as well.
