Hello again!

 

So I posted for some help/feedback during the summer but decided to hold off until holiday sales and my recently acquired work discount.

 

This build will mainly be used for gaming and some video editing.

 

My budget right now is around $1200US (I'm sticking to this in case my discount ends up only being a few dollars)

 

I made 2 builds. They are identical except one is an i7 with 8GB of ram the other is i5 with 16. I got mixed answers about which is more important so I made both builds where the prices are about the same.

 

i5 - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GeekJump/saved/C9Tj4D

 

i7 - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GeekJump/saved/NZxV3C

 

Any tips or feedback will be much appreciated! :)
