This is my first time here but all of you seem pretty helpful, so I'll try my luck with a common 'can I have help building' thread.
This is my first build and I am primary looking to build a computer for gaming (Diablo 3, Skyrim, Total war) but with consideration that I will be doing a small amount of video editing and as I understand it an i7 is the better option for the video editing, I could be wrong though. I have the monitor, speakers, keyboard etc so this will just be a base unit with OS.
My budget is 1K to 1.3k but I am willing to go over if it is worth it. This is what I have selected.
KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
Corsair Vengeance Blue Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3
Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler - Blue
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
LG BH10LS38 10x BluRay-RW / 16 x DVD±RW Lightscribe Drive
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit
Cooler Master HAF 922 Case
any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
