Alright, that's the build I'm looking at so far. I already have an OS waiting so I didn't need to add that to the list, what I need to know is if I've chosen the most optimized parts for my price range.
I want to be able to do some video editing on this PC but I also want to have the capability to play games like Skyrim or BF4 on high graphic settings. I thought I would ask some awesome enthusiasts out there what the best way to go would be. Note: The power supply is 750W because I may upgrade in the near future to more power consuming stuff.
