Editing setup for £600

[Sawell]

Could potentially stretch to 700/800 if needed.

Needs a monitor as part of the build too, pref at least 24" as it's for photo/video editing primarily. It will also no doubt be used for gaming but no desire for ultra witcher experience or anything.

Any help greatly appreciated. DVD etc not required, but any case would need to have an SD slot, and we work off SSDs also for video so need those supported and plenty of USB3.

You'll need to bring your own hard drives and you'll need an aftermarket cooler if you want to overclock. Oh... and up your budget to just over the maximum This'll be pretty handy at editing though

Guys his target budget is £600 including monitor.... why are you speccing him skylake or £870 builds?

to OP: I would suggest using Cyanide's spec but swap the motherboard, CPU and power supply out for cheaper ones. Also look at used graphics cards - I recently picked up a 670 for £68 which is a much better card for a lower price.

Also please can you tell us if you need operating system, hard drives/SSD, mouse, keyboard, speakers etc included in the budget or not?

Because he said he could stretch to £800 and if you're doing video editing its worth spending the extra on an i7 and ideally a 750ti if you can. Worst case drop the GPU for now and run with onboard graphics until a bit more budget comes along.
