Hello everyone I am just looking for some insight before I get all my parts ordered this is my first build I plan to have it built by the end of February. I already have the monitor, case, and speakers. I will be using it for some gaming and video editing. My budget is $1900 before the monitor and speakers. I have read similar threads and done some research but still have some questions. I am building it in the US and plan to be using newegg. The only things that are set in stone are the processor monitor and speakers I don't plan to overclock.


Monitor
Samsung T240HD

Case
Antec P182 Midtower (I really like this case bought it a year ago when I was going to build my first system but my budget didnt suffice back then. I would like to use it but will get something else if it isn't big enough for i7 and cant keep it cool)
