    Hi there , I was wondering if I could get some opinions and prices on a desktop I am considering purchasing, custom built for gaming and video editing.

    I have these specs so far:

    Processor CPU: Intel i7 4820K Extreme 3.70Ghz Quad Core
    CPU Cooling: Zalman Performance Fan Cooled
    Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz Corsair [8GBx4]
    Motherboard: Asus P9X79 SSD Hard Drive: Hard Disk 1: 1 Terabyte Hybrid with SSD Technology Hard Disk 2: Optical Drive 1: Asus 24X DVD Rewriter Sound Card: 7.1 Chanel OnBoard Sound Wireless:
    Power Supply: Corsair CX600 Watt Bronze Certified 80+ Operating System: windows 8
    Surge Protector: Tricklestar 5 Way Surge Protector.


    I hope to use this game for primarily gaming, but I am hoping also to get into Video Editng/video making. I am looking for a good monitor, I want a good sized monitor but I dont want to have to sit to far away to take in the whole screen. I am thinking 2o to 22 inch would do the job.I don't want to overclock the computer, I want to keep it as good a shape as possible for as long as possible. I can pay by bank transfer or visa or Paypal. I plan to purchase within 1 to 2 months there about. My budget would be between 1400 and 1900 including screen mouse, keyboard deli vary, etc. I am still not sure on what graphs card to get and I would some recommendations for some graphs card to get with this set up. I would also like some recommendations for some screen monitors to go with this setup and possibly a gaming mouse if you feel the need, but not necessary I guess I also was wondering would any one think it was worth it to get this cpu: Intel® Core™ i7-4930K Processor instead any and all recommendations for upgrades or downgrades are greatly appreciated . Thanks for your time.

    MSGS is the only high powered game I am interested at the moment, but I am always finding new games I wish to play so I would like a desktop which is able to run new games on the market no problem.

    I would replace the cpu/mother/ram with 5820k, motherboard and ddr 4 or a 4790k, motherboard and ddr 3 ram.
    I wouldn't buy new on a dead socket tbh.

    Gtx 970 or r9 290 for the graphics card. Whichever you can get the best deal on really.

    thanks :) what aobut the motherboard?

    probably never going to be needed but the 4820K has 40 pci lanes and the 5820k has 28 lanes. really probably never going to make a difference, just putting it out there... if you were to use 3/4 graphics cards or something...

    Edit: obviously theres the two extra cores, probably waiting a very long time for it to make much of a difference for gaming, maybe for video editing, can't say I know much about that
