    Default Building a new computer

    Alright. My laptop is on it's last legs, and I've been having a ton of trouble with it. So, I decided to change things up and build a desktop, one that'll last me a long time.

    On newegg, I made a wishlist of absolutely everything I believed I'd need to build the best computer I could. I'd just link the wishlist, but for some odd reason it's email only. So, I'll link each part one by one, and just give a very brief description like "Computer Case" or "motherboard".

    If any of you are interested in feedback, some places where I could change parts for better performance, let me know. I'm wanting a high performance computer designed to play basically any video game at maximum efficiency, as well do Video Recording, editing and processing in HD graphics.

    I would suggest getting a Solid State Drive (SATA III) for windows / games and use however many 2TB+ drives for your storage.
    Recently bought an Intel 520 120gb Sata III drive for my PC and it made a fair difference! (make sure it isn't connected to a marvell chipset that doesn't support TRIM)

    Yeah! I was planning on getting a SSD as a secondary Drive. They're still pretty expensive, so I didn't want to jump into getting it as the primary drive. Over time though, I'll shift over to the primary Drive.
