Hello everyone,
I'm trying to build a new PC, And not sure if the parts are compatible or they are the best I can get.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: July/Aug
Budget Range: $2300 to $2600, I'm paying allot because I'm building a good work station that I can play on every now and then.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video Editing, Gaming, Browsing
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Might add another GPU in the future
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
