    If you are looking at video Editing etc plus a monitor I don't know if it can be done on your budget. Do you have a TV at home you could use instead of monitor?

    Leave out the monitor.

    Get the xeon 1231 v3 250.

    The rest of digitals build. Except psu perhaps.

    And you can get a 750 TI on adverts 100.

    Be around 600.

    I'd splash a little more on psu for upgrading in future.

    Intel HD4400 graphics at Low 720p: 34FPS on CS:GO (such an awful game for low end systems) Dust map.
    Would the FX series be a bit better for the build, seeing as the gaming is pretty light compared to the editing? I mean, the 8350 does do better at multi-cored tasks than the i3 (I don't remember the Xeon stats) and so the loss in gaming is non-existent.
