$500-$600 set up possible?

[given]

without monitor, kb, mouse etc.

for video editing and occasional D4, dota2 gaming and the usual youtubing, movies etc ..

saw a few pre-loved on carousell $500 and under mainly with 1050 - 1070ti gpu, are they sufficient or can I actually get better specs DIYing ?

brand new

value gaming pc, total: $1088

ryzen 5 5600 + asrock b550m/ac	316	tradepac
kingston fury beast 2x 8gb 3600mhz cl17 ddr4	69	dynacore
wd blue sn570 500gb	55	dynacore
powercolor rx 7600 fighter	394	dynacore
super flower legion gx pro 650w	104	techdeals

if strict 1k budget, can settle for a cheap case within the remaining $61 like the tecware nexus air m2 (again) or flatline.

Depends on what you are using for editing, I would recommend a Ryzen CPU, but if you use Premiere then you will need an Intel CPU with iGPU for quicksync.

Intel 12400 + super cheap motherboard is already around $400.
Any decent GPU (RTX 2060 and above) is at least $250.
16GB RAM is around $70.
I assume you need a 1TB SSD, so $88 for 980 Pro 1TB on Amazon.
Decent PSU (80+ Bronze rated stuff and not a bomb) costs at least $60.
Random case $60.

Do the math and see if you are willing to spend around $900-$1000. Of course you get all new parts and warranty for most components.

For $500-600, not possible.

ahh forgot to mention .. really just light video editing, like trimming scenes with open source editor, no premier pro etc, no rendering or anything .

thanks anyway so far for the recommendations !

Possible with a 5600G system but you'll be on integrated graphics.

ASUS TUF GAMING A520M-PLUS WIFI + 5600G $301
KINGSTON FURY BEAST Black 3600MHz CDL17/CL18 KIT 16GB $69
FSP HV Pro 550W 80+ Bronze Power Supply $58
Jonsbo D31 Mesh $68
Crucial MX500 2.5" Sata Ssd 1TB $84

Total $580 from Dynacore

Save up a little more like 700~800 then you are looking at something. For now, is IGPU...might as well dont bother

1 potential alternative, especially if you do some research on how stable dota is on m1 cpu
