Hey everyone! I am looking to build a new gaming/video editing system for between 1000-1500. What would you all recommend. Maybe some of you nice people can give me a list for both prices? I need to be able to play every game one high if not maximum. Thanks ahead of time!

Do you have peripherals with you already?

"M. Aronnax." replied the Canadian, "your arguments are rotten at the foundation. You speak in the future, 'We shall be there! we shall be here!' I speak in the present, 'We are here, and we must profit by it.'"

This is a great one but do you think a 520 watt PSU is enough?

If you dont overclock anything I think it should be ok. Admittedly there is not that much head room on it though

That was my concern but I can afford one later on I just wanted to make sure the system would run

If you really want to use every penny of your budget I could include a 750+ watt power supply but that would leave no money left to treat your girlfriend to dinner with, and we both know if you build a new PC she is going to want more of your time...

 

At least that's how it works for me...
