Building a PC soon, can you help me build it piece by piece?
August 6th, 2013
I think I will start with the CPU, I am thinking the i7-2600k because it seems like the best bang for the buck that will last me for a long time.
I am looking for speediness as priority #1; speediness during everything I do with the OS and programs. I just hate clicking on something and waiting for it to process. Also, I will like to use it for movies, video editing, photo editing, programming and things such as that. Gaming is not an issue.
Can u tell me whats your Budget ? Your Processor choice was Good .

SSD will be the thing to make windows more responsive rather than the CPU.
The 2600k is a great chip though but the i5 2500K offers better performance/$
Will you be overclocking the new hardware?
Well I am looking at around $1300 max
A mother board with a Z68 chipset would be good.
Using a SSD for the OS and important Apps should make it fast..

I’d like to overclock but later on in life.
I’m wondering if I should just get the 2500k..
