Now, the processor I've selected is the Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K
Can you help me pick a motherboard? Budget is $1,900 and primary purpose is video editing in Vegas, Photoshop, and then gaming. Please and thank you!
Also, need help selecting the best RAM for a reasonable price - having a difficult time figuring that out and what will be compatible with my motherboard.
