Hey everybody,
This will be my first build in a lonnnng time. I'm looking for something with a lot of power and a measure of longevity. I've looked at a hundred builds here and have come up with what I think looks pretty mean for the price. Let me know if I'm off the mark! Thank you!
Approximate Purchase Date: When my parts list is finalized - hopefully by the end of next week.
Budget Range: I'm hoping no more than ~1250USD... but I need peripherals and a monitor on top of that.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, gaming.. gaming. My SO may try to use it for video editing.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Those with Canadian shipping, as I am in Canada.
Overclocking: Probably not.

Additional Comments: I am willing to save a few bucks now and upgrade lower quality parts later.
