Hey this is my second thread I messed the last one up. I am looking at building my own PC and was wondering if someone would give me a part list because I'm not sure what to get especially with sound cards and networking and all that stuff.
Here's some more info:
Location: Connecticut USA
PC Use: Gaming, Ametur music production, movie streaming, running game server, downloading
I need room in my budget for a 22-23 inch HD monitor and a gaming keyboard
Requests: I would prefer some sort of intel i5 or i7 unless you guys think its better otherwise
I would like it really colorful with lights and red. I would prefer something like this case http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=CA-H440WM1&c=CJ
also sorry for all the special conditions, I need a hard disk no SSD of 1 TB
Thanks in advance

I know you said red and black combo, just suggesting you an orange and black combo instead. You can change keyboard and mouse to your liking:

i know you said black and red, but this cpu cooler has blue LEDs and is marketed as the best cooler (it is for loads under 150 watts, luckily the 4790k stays below at stock speeds). it inspired me to do a black and blue build you should check it out. also, i've included a M.2 ssd the samsung xp941. i will be getting one soon myself. together with the extreme6's 'ultra m.2' it achieves pciex4 speeds. it will be most useful for game server.
