Hi this will be used for gaming and business. I prefer Intel and NVIDIA, but reading the posts around here it seems like AMD might have the best offerings. I'm open to any advice on which direction to go.

I'd like a case that is big enough and easy to fit everything in. lots of ram, 500GB SSD, 2 TB harddrive(s), a mobo that has flexibility to upgrade the processor in the future (if that's possible or even reasonable). I'll be gaming in 1920x1080 resolution. It would be cool if the rig could play 4K resolution, but I'm not sure I really notice a difference on youtube videos.


I have monitor, speakers, keyboard. Need everything else.

Thanks.

I have a ASUS 1920 x 1080 screen and a second samung 1680 x 1050 syncmaster 226bw that I like to surf the web and play movies on while I game on my ASUS. I don't plan on streaming. I want to be able to play any game, like FPS and RTS games.
