I came to this site for help on a gaming build and you guys knocked it out of the park.
I have found my build that I settled on I just want a a second and third opinion on the build.
What I was looking for in the build.
I'm looking for a good hard core gaming machine with playing games like the new dragon age with atleast ultra settings. But still be able edit video and audio(the editing will be very little on videos and almost none on audio.) im doing a podcast and would like to be able to record and upload audio to iTunes with ease but gaming is the main focus here.
Basically what I'm asking is this build going to give me what I want as a hardcore gaming machine and still allow for podcast recording and simple YouTube uploads most videos will be video versions of the podcast.
I'm located in the US and my budget for the build was $1000.
Any changes or opinions on the current build would be helpful.
