Need full tower, inc operating system...No keyboard or mouse needed. PC will be used for editing, and gaming. Thanks in advance guys...I did put a spec together myself, but i think it's best to just ask you pros

PS. Must have this case!

i went with the 500gb HDD because you barely save any money with the OS + HDD bundle if you upgrade to 1TB, and the HDD is not as good as the seagate.

but i suppose you could
