Hi all! I'm looking to build a new pc and could use some advice and build suggestions. I put together one, but I'm no expert on this stuff. Change and mod my set-up however desired or scrap it completely.
The pc will be used primarily for gaming, but also some light-medium video editing. I'm not sure if I will be overclocking anything or not, but I wouldn't mind having the option. I want to be able to play current games on the highest settings I can manage on my budget and don't want to be forced to upgrade too fast. I do not need an OS, monitor, etc., just the hardware and case.
For my budget, I'd love to spend somewhere around $1500 to $2000 (definitely wouldn't complaint if it was on the lower end of the spectrum though). I just want to get the best bang for my buck. So, please look over what I have selected and let me know what you think. As I said before, feel free to do a complete overhaul as I'm not dedicated to any certain item or brand. Thanks!
