Like I have said, I have no idea on how PC parts work or what they mean. I just know whether a shell looks cool or not. That is why I came back to my other home, TTG. I need help on what I should do.

I want to spend around $300-$350 (but I'd be willing to go a little over, up to $500 maybe).
I want to be able to use it for graphic designs, livestreams, and editing videos for youtube since I'm mainly a console player. But, it would be nice to be able to play PC exclusive games in decent quality. (games like DayZ, CS:GO, PUBG, etc.)

Thank you everyone in advance!

help us out one bit.

Currency?

What all do you need? (keyboard, mouse, speakers, ETC)
What software do you plan on using, all act differently with rendering.

$500 would stretch it enough to barely make it a decent gaming PC, with the way prices are for GPUS.

USD
No keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, etc.
I plan on using Photoshop, Illustrator, Sony Vegas, OBS, and Elgato Game Capture Software
How much would you recommend I spend on it? Ill spend more if I have to. Im just not wanting to drop $1k on a PC I wont mainly use for gaming.

No need to pay all of that, i wasn't quite thinking about the Intel side when i posted.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($78.77 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($44.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($58.99 @ Newegg)

Video Card: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($79.99 @ Amazon)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($30.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ($31.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $409.59

You can add in a HDD, cheaper now then usual. A 1-2TB should be fine for editing. I would strongly suggest waiting a while for Ryzen 3 to drop (guaranteed better for editing).

The GT 1030 is a good card for the price, i mean you could look around on ebay/craigslist/reddit for better cards at slight price increase sometimes. The g4560 will be fine for light editing don't expect extremely fast render times.

EDIT: forgot to mention, ASK wherever you get the motherboard from to update it.

Thank you a lot, I won't be doing like movie edits or anything so I won't expect a lot lol. My current computer is garbage & a waste of $300. It can't do anything. I can't wait to have this, thank you again!

With your intended uses, you'd be much better off going Ryzen. Ryzen 3 isn't far off and should be priced similar to i3's(on the lower end).

Motherboards not great, but you'd get a pretty poor motherboard if you went with the Pentium G4560 as well anyway. It would be worth spending an extra $25 for a nice B350 chipset motherboard with Ryzen IMO. I've added an R5 1400 but price is what I expect the lower end R3 to cost(R3 1200 I think). Only got a 120GB SSD in there, which is fine for OS and a game or two but you'll want to add an HDD asap. AFAIK RX 550>GT 1030 so I'd get the RX 550 IF I was getting a GPU that low end. However, I'd really recommend spending the extra $20 or so for a GTX 1050, it's 100% worth it. You can get a white and/or windowed version of the case instead of black with no window, if you wish.
