I've never thought about building my own pc until today
I kept looking for a prebuilt but they're so expensive and lots of reviews say "you're better off making your own"
Thinking about the possibility i've come to this site to learn more on this.
(if anything i say sounds really dumb let me know)
I feel a bit confident about the actual set up but i'm terrified of buying a part that won't work or fit in with the rest of them
- it'll be used for mostly video editing and gaming (typical eh?)
I have a few parts in mind that I would love to have in the system but I need to know what else would be great to have as well
Advice and tips would be amazing!
1. Processor:
Intel i7 (there are so many different kinds though i don't even know what to think)
(i know people say that i5 is good enough for gaming, but then there are people who are into editing, which I am greatly, saying that i7 would be better)
2. Video Card:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 680
Other
- 8-10GB+ memory (even more the better)
- if possible 1TB HardDrive (as well as a recommendation for a good external hardrive which i'll also need later on)
- and just for fun, a cool case
i'm not too worried about budget right now i just need to know what to look for!
If possible i would love to keep it under $2000 the less the better
Im so sorry if i sound stupid at all, im so new and im still looking into this, but if anyone could help me out or give any kind of advice that would be so helpful! Also, I am in Canada so if that helps narrow down anything!
Cheers!
