Ok, I'm saving up to build a new PC and was looking to get all of your input on the parts I'm looking at right now. I'm new to computers and haven't built a rig yet so it would be great if someone could check if all the parts are compatible with eachother because I dont know for sure if they are. I don't plan on overclocking (way over my head) if that helps with your comments. I plan on using this PC for gaming AND video editing if that helps at all. I'm looking to stay around 1k. I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. Thanks
* Currently, I'm still deciding whether to get an 8series now or just wait untill either a price drop happens or dx10 becomes a necessity. Graphics arent the most important thing to me so I could defenitely live without it but it would be helpful if you could also post your thoughts on whether I should get it now or just wait.
