Hello all, I'm a complete beginner to the whole custom PC building process (I have watched some vids and had some friends instruct me on how to put one together) but from that aside I haven't touched a computer's internals much. I'm planning on a getting together a computer build mainly orientated to gaming, but some productivity for school work and minor video editing is also a nice plus to have. I am planning to overclock and possibly SLI in the future. Original budget was $1500, but I'm stretching it to $1800-$1900, maybe a bit over $2000 if necessary.
At the moment this is the current planned build, it'd be much appreciated if I could get some opinions on how it seems.
