$1200 video editing / rendering PC

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• I'll use it for video editing mostly, not too heavy for games.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• $1200

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• This month.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

• Just the pc tower.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• California, US

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• N/A

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• No.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• Replace this text with answer.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• I'd prefer as much speed as possible for my rendering process, so I'm thinking I should prioritize powerful CPU, RAM, and SSD? Cool LEDs/theme color is a plus but not top priority.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• I alread have a Windows copy.
