should i go full tower or mid. I want to go full tower and just keep it on the floor (i have a very clean hardwood floor) but itd make more sense to go mid. I dont have much desk space though. These are my two options Mid: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153&cm_re=mid_tower_atx-_-11-147-153-_-Product Full: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353086

I put everything in the calculator and it suggested the 750. I actually just went down from the 850 i had selected. Apparently power supply is a bitch to change so i want to get a good one now and be able to upgrade without worrying

Someone on a different forum made it a big deal not to use skylake with windows 7 and to go haswell instead. I'm pretty deadset on windows 7 though. So I should just go lighter on everything else and spring on the GPU?

I'm more than likely also going to do dual monitors at some point

Still fairly new to the DIYPC thing so sorry if im a little slow at this. I just want to play current games 1080p on high settings and edit and render in vegas and photoshop. Not crazy 3d stuff though. Someone explain the next gen thing to me please

I hope to get a job this summer and work as much as possible so id say i dont want to go much higher than 1500

I'm going to build my first pc. I want it to be good quality, not super high end, but not budget. I'm getting a job this summer. I'm going to be using this for basic 1080p gaming on high settings with current games, recording, editing and rendering videos. (and possibly livestreaming in the future) I was doing a skylake build but people said it wasnt the best for rendering and it wasnt good with windows 7. I'll go ahead and put the parts list.

I tweaked my list and here is the fully revised one. Maybe in the future ill get a 970 or a 980 but im not doing 4k or VR so ill be fine. Is this setup practical? Am i forgetting anything? Any suggestions on how i can improve this list for what i intend to use it for. Thanks!
