To start off, my budget is less than $1000.
I want this to be a pretty good computer for it's budget. I will be rendering videos and playing games on it.
I wanted to build this PC instead of buying one because I want it to have exactly what I want on it. And I want it to last for a long time, so I will be able to upgrade it easily.
