Hello! I am looking into building a PC. These PC's will be my first builds so I would like some help. I have watched on how to build a computer, and it isn't as hard as it sounds. But the problem is, I don't know how to select the parts. Could you please make a parts list for me? I will be building two PC's, so I will tell you what I want for each of them.
First PC-Gaming PC
Approximate Purchase Date:By the end of the week
Budget Range: $1000 tops, can go over by a little bit.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet
Are you buying a monitor: No, if the Video Card has a VGA port or a HDMI to VGA or a DVI to VGA adapter. The monitors I have are two old Dell 1680*1050 resolution monitors, and they use VGA ports.
Parts to Upgrade:Building from nothing, so I will have to buy all the parts
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, but don't put in the parts list. Put it in only if you can fit it in the budget, I will be running Windows 8.1 64-bit
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I don't know, newegg?
Location: San Jose, California, US
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: No, probably not. I am not a super hardcore gamer, and I will be using this for school stuff too.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1680*1050
Additional Comments: Here are basically all the requirements:
1TB HDD
SSD(I don't know how much)
At Least 8 gigabytes of RAM
Good Graphics Card, at least one that can run Minecraft and record with Fraps at the same time and High Settings
I will probably need everything but a mouse, because my keyboard is an Apple Bluetooth keyboard so I can't use it at first start up. My monitor is old, so it only has a VGA input. Make sure the graphics card either has a VGA output or comes with an adapter to change an output to VGA.
Make sure to include a WiFi adapter/card, cause I will use it a lot and I want good ping.
Since I don't know much about computer parts, I have a keyboard/mouse bundle that I might buy

There is also a wifi card that I have picked out, but I don't know if it is good or not.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/tp-link-wireless-network-c...
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I just need a better computer.
This next PC I will be building later, after I confirmed that this first PC I am going to build works and is good. The budget for this computer is $1200. This is an office PC and this is for my parents. My mom, specifically, and my dad is helping me(just so you know, I am 15 years old.)She uses A LOT of Microsoft Office programs like Exel and Word, and Adobe programs like Acrobat(PDF editor) and Photoshop sometimes. She also uses the Internet a lot too. Could you build a computer that would last at least 5 years and suit her need well?
Approximate Purchase Date: Maybe in the next 3-4 weeks?
Budget Range: 1200 tops, a little over is ok.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Microsoft Office Programs, Internet, and Adobe stuff.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. This is a build that will require parts of everything, a keyboard, a mouse, a monitor, etc.
Parts to Upgrade: Nothing, either Building from scratch again.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, include this in the budget.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:I don't know, newegg?
Location: Same place- San Jose, California, US
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU
Overclocking: Nope
SLI or Crossfire: nope
Your Monitor Resolution: We don't have another monitor, so we need a monitor in the budget.
Additional Comments: Need fast boot up, need lots or hard drive space(2,3 TB?), fast core(preferably Intel Core i7), and a graphics card if you can fit it in the budget, though I don't think we will need it. Make sure to add in a Wifi card, she uses the internet a lot.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Her laptop sucks and she needs a better computer, laptop or desktop.
Thanks!

Well for the office PC you don't need to spend $1200 if you're not doing anything beyond basic Adobe and MS Office, you can spend about 1/2 that and still get performance that will last:

An i7 and GTX 750TI for basic MS Office and Adobe programs? Really? Seriously a Pentium G or Athlon X4 with on board graphics can handle those tasks. That's mega overkill on the processor there.

An i7 and GTX 750TI for basic MS Office and Adobe programs? Really? Seriously a Pentium G or Athlon X4 with on board graphics can handle those tasks. That's mega overkill on the processor there.
Sir, pl read the OP's stated requirement. Earlier I was refraining myself to give him any GPU for that but then again, said PC is to be used for coming so many years, it has to be maximum safeguard. My humble point of view.

She uses A LOT of Microsoft Office programs like Exel and Word, and Adobe programs like Acrobat(PDF editor) and Photoshop sometimes. She also uses the Internet a lot too. Could you build a computer that would last at least 5 years and suit her need well?For Microsoft Office, Acrobat and basic Photoshop, a Pentium G, APU, or Athlon X4 will last for years. It does not take a lot of CPU for those tasks, you're seriously throwing away $200 when you don't have to. If you were doing lots of video editing or other CS5/6 programs then an i7 would be warranted. But for the OP's needs, an i7 isn't necessary. I can get Microsoft Office 2013 and Firefox 30 to run on 5 year old Pentium 4s. The requirements for these programs don't change.

Totally agreed. If OP is ok with it, revise build is available

In my build for gaming, I've given you good CPU with very good GPU i.e GTX 770. Check these links:
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2013/11/13/am...
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270X-vs-GeForce-GTX-7...
Clanin has given you very good CPU but with R9 270x. GTX 770 beats R9 270x and this is a gaming build
However, Clanin build has an advantage of H97 series mobo though I would not be much bothered with 97 in question but some sort of future proofing is a good thing.

Well, you need a graphics card that supports 2 monitors, which literally everyone does, then you usually have to go through a process to get them connected. It's very easy to do, don't worrywell i buy top of the line so i get the best stuff in the world i would check out intel.com or micro center.
