I want to know If everything matches and/or if i should change something. I would rather not go up in price but if it would make a huge difference then maybe I can spend a little more money.
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible. Can wait a few weeks if something good is coming up.
Budget Range: ~2150
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Video editing,( from 30 sec stuff to 15 min projects. But nothing longer than that. Several projects at the same time though). Otherwise just casual surfing, movie watching and some photo editing in photoshop and lightroom.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Overclocking: Probably no.
SLI or Crossfire: No, not right now.
Additional Comments: I want a solid video editing build that will last for some time.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Sitting on a cheap laptop from 2008 right now, so, well yeah.
