this is my first build..i will not be overclocking..im not a gamer..i will do basic video encoding and basic photo editing with this pc and general pc tasks


i have an actual budget of about 1500 i already spent 154 of that on a monitor

i would like to spend as little as i possibly can without ruining the quality of the build i would like it to last me atleast 4 years if not more

the case i have yet to decide on i will have to do that my self i figure that will cost anywhere from 100-200

i was thinking going with the i5-2500 to save on cost instead of the 2600

i think i would like 8gb of ram

windows home premium

60-60gb ssd

video card i dont think i need anything to extreme as i wont be doing any gaming just watching hd content and what not

an internal hard drive for storage anything from 600gb-1tb is good

and of course all the other standard stuff i need dvd rom motherboard etc..

any questions feel free to ask
