I hate Red and Black themed builds, but people seem to like them. FML.

1. Budget & Location
My budget is about 800, I can stretch a bit. My location is the States. 

2. Aim
My aim for this system is to get some photo editing, basic video editing, gaming, and basic stuff. I want my system to be a Red theme build. Preferably the MSI series for the motherboard. I prefer cases that look sexy and clean.

3. Monitors
I'll run about two monitors which i have ordered. So no need to add it to the price.

4. Peripherals
I do need the windows 8 system builder in the price though.

5. Why are you upgrading?
I'm upgrading because my dad's workstation recently gave up after awhile, and he needed it for his work, so i gave him mine. So hence which i why i'm building a new one.

Because everyone seems to want them, or has them. It started with Asus, and you can't blame Asus for being the first nor the most demanded colour scheme. For blame we must look to ASRock, MSI and now Gigabyte whom have all gone for red and black for their gaming lines. And who finally cottons on to the fact that people like other colour mobos? Why Asus of course! They're coming up with their White TUF mobos soon enough, something we can all look forwards to.

 

 

Because he's racist.  

 

 

just kidding. haha

 

White mobos. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Haha so true. The only reason i'm going with this theme is because its easier to find parts that match sadly.
