New computer for my amateur videographer dad

Build Description

My parents are running a 4th-gen Core i5 computer with 8GB of RAM that is really starting to bog down. I started looking for a replacement computer for them, but was unhappy with the price for performance offered by pre-builds. So, I offered to build them a computer. I think this option ends up giving them the best bang for the buck.

Favorite Feature

The key feature here for me is reliability. I worked to choose midrange components that are high quality.
