Im looking for a 1000-1500 dollar gaming comp to build. i also would like to mess around with video footage and media things like that. This is what i researched so far but i have room in my budget to upgrade, my question is what kind of upgrades should i get to make a better comp. I am planning on having 3 screens with maybe a touchscreen as the middle one, thanks for the help!

3 or more screens - you definitely want to go Eyefinity. Now are your monitors included in your initial budget or are you planning a separate budget for that?

What size monitors are you looking at - 23"? 21.5"? - that will make a huge difference as to what hardware you can get for the price. I'd recommend a Sapphire Flex video card - they're one of the easiest Eyefinity cards on the market and make setting up so much easier, plus you get the advantage of having all 3 in HDMI or not.

I'm not sure if you can use a Windows license across machines or not - you may have to get one anyways. But if you cut that out and you cut the monitor down to 2 it'll run about $1500 even.

No problem - that build should last a long time with very few upgrades.
