build advice

[chrischuck]

Looking to build my first mackintosh. It will be for my niece who needs to edit videos for youtube. Nothing to intensive no 4k or anything like that. Looking to use iMovie for simple editing. Looking for a solid and cheap build. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I suggest looking at the CustoMac Mini Deluxe or the CustoMac mATX from the Buyer's Guide. Also, read through some of our "Golden Builds" to use as examples and guides. Then after you've built the hardware and you're ready to install macOS, the standard Installation Guide is mandatory.
