Budget Range: $900-1200 Before Rebates; After Shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, School, Video Editing
Are you buying a monitor: Not at this time. However, I would like some suggestions!
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon
Location: USA
Parts Preferences: I would prefer a nvidia GPU. I like their driver software better than AMD's.
Overclocking: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1600x900
Additional Comments: So my laptop is going to die soon and I want a decent school/basic editing/gaming desktop. Here is what I have put together so far. This is the first time I will be building a computer, so please give me any advice on what parts I should choose! Also, I have no idea what case to get, so any detailed suggestions in that part of the build would be awesome.
Note: I have a couple 7200 and 5400 RPM HDDs laying around, that is why I only have SSD included in the build.
