The computer is mostly for gaming, some sound and video editing too, though. I'm not planning to overclock right away but I thought I might as well have the option for later. I was considering the Gtx 770 for the video card but 290 was suggested. Any thoughts on how this system should be and where I might save a bit of money?
Thanks
