Additional Comments: I am building this rig for my wifes parents and pretty much the only instruction given was to stay near the budget and that it should be fast. Build is mainly going to be used for streaming, music(creating, recording, tweaking), movies, not a gaming [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]pc[/COLOR][/COLOR], although there may be some light gaming(not crysis). Always like to get the opinions of the more tech sauvy before i buy a build just incase i messed up on compatibility or there is some price/performance item that i missed. The only upgrades this rig will ever see are when i change out parts, so it needs to last a few years before it needs an overhaul. Critique the hell out of it if i missed the mark somewhere. Thanks.
