Hi Guys, I'm trying to get into the whole PC gaming scene (I currently have a PS3, PS4 and Wii U) and would also like a really fast computer for video rendering and use of Adobe CS6 programs. My goal is to have a top notch PC build that probably wouldn't require any type of upgrades for at least 5 years. Any help with this build would be great the price range should just be for the tower, internals and OS.

If your gonna do video compression i'd get 16 gbs of ram. I do a lot of compression and within seconds my 16 gigs are nearly filled up when doing h264 compression in virtualdub.

Also get some ssd's for your OS and games.

If theres money left over you may as well get a 780ti, but if not i think 780 should be good enough for a good while.

This is where I'm at currently with my build and I am happy with it so far. I also have a PS3, PS4 and Wii U and would like to use either of DS3 or DS4 controllers for certain games on my future PC Build. Is there different ways to use those controllers and connect them successfully? I've heard of wired and wireless bluetooth options and would like an insight on that whole situation since I've new to PC Gaming. Or I'm stuck to buying a X360 or Xbox One controller?

Thanks for any feedback and help.

With SCP drivers it should work, but I tried and couldn't, so I'd investigate further.
