Getting a new computer, suggestions/help?

[Auroraty|Kristie]

Thanks so much for your help but I'd rather just build it My dad didn't want to build ours either but I told him how much money we can save. Also my brother's friends are computer geeks and they can build it for us. Thanks again

I was kind of just suggesting it if ya wanted to go the cheaper route But I know nothing about computers either cx

I can adjust the list if you want, just tell me your budget and what you're going to use it for.

few questions:
What program are you going to use for editing videos? (this affects which graphics card will be more beneficial.)
(Sony Vegas = Nvidia, Adobe Premier = AMD, else = not sure)
Does this price include the mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor?
do you need wifi on this machine or are you able to use ethernet?
Preference between Windows 7 or 8.1?
(8 is faster and overall just better in this scenario, you can just get a really good start button add on for $5, I have one)http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/
Do you want an SSD and a Hard drive or just a hard drive?
(SSD is flash memory, like USB sticks and iPhones have)
SSDs will make games and windows faster, this way you can have speed for that stuff and lots of storage for recording and stuff.
Just using a HD is fine though.

BOOM! Done. I was able to make it a bit cheaper, and pick better Motherboard, power supply, and case!
