It's a pretty good rig.

I would suggest Intel over AMD for the cpu.Whats your budget?

If you can, i would try squeeze and little more for a better GPU, 960 isn't bad but I'm just thinking longevity

Very Much appreciated for input. What kind of CPU would you recommend at a reasonable price from Intel, like $200 or so.
Also for the GPU?

Hello!

Looks like you PC that you have built is around $500. I am going to try to get something around there but like Mr. Lobster said a switch to Intel may lead to better results, especially if you will be editing videos for Youtube. You can get an i5-4590 right now at $199.99 and that may be your best option on price/performance. Making a switch to Intel will make your overall price higher though. You can also get this ASRock motherboard for $113.99. (Z97 Extreme4) It currently has a $20 as well.

These changes bump your price up to $630 which is ~$130 increase. I would suggest trying to look through the Open Box Section of Newegg for a video card as they been getting a lot in.

Another suggestion for getting a cheap PC is to wait until the things you want/require are on sale. It may take longer to get a full PC together, but depending on budget you can get more for the money. You also shouldn't need the SSD mount, I took that out.
