It has been a few years since I built my PC and I am planning on building one for my girlfriend and myself when I go to her house. I want it to pretty much hold up very well in 1080 seeing as that is the monitor I will probably go with, but I will get a 4k TV next year so there is always that. It will be used for playing games, video editing, and everything else. I was wanting some help on the parts to get. Here is what I think will be well so far. My price range is roughly $1500 for everything and seeing as I work at Best Buy I can get a nice deal on most of them. i'll also need a good amount of space for all of the videos we will be editing and keeping. We record our game play and since I got the new Gopro 4 I have been filming a lot in 4k which eats up space.
GPU: GTX 970 (Not sure which brand)
Processor: i7-4790k
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16g (not sure on how much I need)
HDD: Segate Baracuda 2T (I'll add an SSD later)
Motherboard: Gigabyte LGA 1150 GA-H97 (unless there is a better one)
Keyboard: Logitech G510 (The one I have)
Monitor: Not sure. A 23 inch IPS monitor would be ideal, but there are so many out there to choose from. Any suggestions?
PSU: Corsair CX 750 (Not sure if I need more power with this setup)
Case: Probably a HAF XM Midtower case. No need for a full I think.)
Mouse: Already has one
Headset: Already has one
Any changes let me know!
