Under $1k PC budget for Editing, Multitasking, and some gaming

Hi. I'm on a tight budget for a demanding content creator, multitasking, gaming PC.

I want to keep it future proof and long lasting. After some research and going back and forth with Nvidia and AMD GPU's, I put this list together. I also used a Chat GPT 4 "PC Builder" which is sort of up to date but isn't aware of the Ryzen 5 9000 series cpus, probably because that's new.

Please rate the build!

  • Looks great for under $1k! Definitely a lot of room for later upgrades in the next months to even years. Depending on what kind of editing you're doing, I would definitely recommend upgrading for a better GPU in the future.

    Why microATX though?

    Also, be quiet is a bit high end for a low end build. I would use Thermalright but don't know if MC carries it and can put it here.

    It's OOS now but the 3080 Ti FE at 450 would have been great here. Don't know where we could squeeze out 130 to go from 7600 XT to that.
