Final Changes for a new PC! [Advice Needed]

Hello all, I have finally decided to go through with buying a PC from DS, but I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to PC specs so I wanted to run this by the forum to see if there was anything that should be changed or tweaked a bit. I also included the monitors I was debating on getting since I could not choose between the two and the keyboard I planned on.

                                             Thanks in advance
                                                        -Jared

Budget:
The budget was around $2500 for the PC and 200/250 for the other parts.

Expectations:
I was expecting a fast machine that does overheat, seeing as I have problems with an overheating laptop. I wanted all around good preformance and something that I will not need to upgrade for a while, but could still upgrade if I needed to. So in other words, a PC that will last a long time.

Usage:
Day to day tasks, web browsing, email checking, that sort of stuff. Along with gaming. For example, Call of Duty. Also video rendering and very small scale 3D rendering and graphic design.

Alright awesome! Thanks for the help, and I took your advice about the accessories. NewEgg it is.

Hi Jared,

I think Orange7 has given you some good advise. The ODE-4 is a much better choice with more gaming power by a long shot. In my mind the ODE case is much better than the Enix, especially if you plan on working on the computer.

If you want a custom build I think we can do better than the two Enix builds above unless you want to stick with the Enix. For $2499 you will be hard press to get a better computer than the ODE-4 for the money.

Alright thanks. I will check out the ODE a little more to see what I prefer. And if you guys are saying that it is easier to upgrade or add to, it is probably the better choice. Now I have never really dealt with upgrading or adding to before because this is my first major PC buy. So would it be hard to upgrade the ram and/or the power supply. On the Enix I customized, I had 16gb of ram and 1200w of power. Would I easily be able to upgrade both, or do I even need to?

                                             Thanks a ton

Awesome. I do and have done some video editing, but have never really been able to render much because of the bad comp I have now. So I guess I will find out if I need or want to upgrade the ram once I have used the computer.
