Hello I am looking to build a workstation PC. The only problem is I know this much >I  I< about them. The PC will be for my wife.  It will be mainly used for photo editing, very minor video editing, some minor gaming nothing crazy (i.e. world of tanks) and kids home work.  I plan on spending about $2000 US. That includes one Monitor, mouse, keyboard and full PC build.  I will need it to be WiFi capable tell i can run cat 7 through out my house. For the case i would like it to have at least 2 x usb 2.0  and 2 x USB 3.0  ports in the front. Also case LED's for no reason at all, maybe one I can change the color on. As for the OS I guess windows 8.1. Not to sure on what to run. Time frame on building this wont be right away and I am flexible on the total price but not to much. so I am not to worried about deals and catching things on sale.  If there is any more information that you need from me please let me know.

 

Thanks
