I am assuming you live in the usa, If this is not the case tell me and I'll make up something else, I am asuming your needs are high end gaming with some video editing and photo editing n stuff aswell as that is the general plan for people who want i7 and stuff

Hope this Helped

Honestly it will just be for gaming with the BEST possible FPS at 1440p or 1200p I REALLY want something thats going to last me 3-4 years solid without being a total slug. I am a bit of an extremist with it comes to purchases, if you think a i5 would be better please let me know.

for gaming you only really need and i5, and in that case you don't need that amount of ram either, also the graphics card is kind of overkill but it will last 3-4 years ok

I added 2 monitors so you can choose, the benq is a better screen for gaming but it is smaller than the samsung
