First Id like to say I am fairly new to the site and if I have posted this in the wrong thread please just let me know.

I am currently in the process of moving into a new place and have decided its time to build a PC of my own. I will need everything. I mean Mouse, keyboard, software, monitor, etc.

I am a photographer that shoots in nothing but raw. I shoot landscapes, weddings, anything I can. So this build must be able to process multiple Raw images at a time in different editing programs. (this includes video editing but not much)

I would like to also game on this build. I am not a intense gamer as of now so I am not looking to run large games at full settings. Just something to get through your regular minecraft and CS:Go matches without raging!

I'm looking to spend under $1000 and as low as I can go while still getting the best bang for my buck. I understand that a monitor(especially for photo editing) can really eat up that budget so please feel free to leave that cost aside. I will will be fine for a while without one.

I really appreciate any answers you guys can provide. And if you have any questions for me, please ask.


Thank You
