1. Budget & Location
My budget aim is to land around $1500 but there is flexibility there. I am located in Denver, Colorado, USA.
2. Aim
My goal here is two fold. To be able to game with Triple A titles at as high a graphics as possible with at least 60 FPS. I also do some video and audio editing my current laptop lags with both, I hope the new experience can be cleaner/
3. Monitors
Currently I run two 1920 x 1200 monitors at 60 hrz. I would like to in the future upgrade to an ultra wide at 1440 in the future.
4. Peripherals
I will be sticking with my current peripherals. Also I have Windows.
5. Why are you upgrading?
I haven't have a gaming PC since 2010. Also my laptop doesn't play games well at all, and they must be set to low graphics.
Here is my list currently: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kvlfrog/saved/#view=bdkqpg
I have one major concern which is the motherboard cpu combo. I found it on a bitwit build guide but PC Part Picker says it may need a bios flash. I have no way to do that.
Please let me know your thoughts.
