I haven't had a computer in 3 years and now that I'm graduating from college with a degree in art-photo and minor in communications it's become the time where I will need to be able to edit video and photos on my own computer. I also play would like the ability to play pcs game such as skyrim and Total war on the non lowest settings. since Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a week away any help on designing and identifying the parts needed to make a computer that meets these specifications would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-
