I am planning to build a new PC for $1500USD I am willing to increase the budget for more performance though. The PC should be able to hand all the latest games at decent FPS and also should be able to handle the occasional video editing. I have a 1920 x 1080p monitor at the moment but I am planning to get a second monitor later. i already have a mid tower ATX case so the components should be able to fit inside of it. I need some suggestions on what to buy and any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Can you state the monitor and case? Will be using for reference :). Also, do you already have peripherals?
