Budget:
2500$

Expectations:
I'm hoping to be able to run my favorite games at high-max settings!

Usage:
Mostly gaming, but also some video editing

If you guys can help me choose the right build for me, I know hardly anything.

What resolution are you gonna be gaming at? and what games?

The build F061 has posted for you is a great one but it may not max your settings if you are on a high res like 4k, to max that you would need another gpu which would be out of your budget.

for your video editing more cores help but for gaming a 4 core cpu is all you need. So if you do lot of heavy video editing then go with FO61's build if not we can config a 4 core for you.

Hmmm I wasn't going to go 4k yet, but I was planning in the near future. I want to play games like rust, gta v, planet coaster etc.

The video editing wasn't going to be heavy stuff, just couple of IPhone shot videos or something small like that, or even sports highlights.

This build is more bent towards gaming with fewer cores, but higher performance of the threads of those cores. I also boosted the PSU to 850W if you want to add a second GPU later on for 4K/UHD gaming.

After listing your needs, the second build FO61-41 has built for you is more towards what you need.

Personally I like to go with 1000w psu for sli and oc to have a little more headroom but this 850w should do ok also.

Either increase your budget, or you can add in additional drives later as needed. This is all very standard hardware.

HDD/SSD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD/SSD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage

I would just down the line add a second hdd or ssd (depending on budget) as a storage drive.
