I am brand new to this computer stuff. I have never really gamed on a computer before but I do want to get into it. I also edit videos for YouTube so I need something that can do that as well. I am planning to have three monitors, so I need something that can support that as well.
Budget: Under $1,200 Any advise would be awesome! Thanks! |

Here's a build that is a tad over budget but it gives you what I would recommend for you gaming and editing.....
Configuration Code: 1572437 Total Price with Instant Savings: $1,257.00 Direct Load URL: https://www.digitalstorm.com/configurator.asp?id=1572437 Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Digital Storm VANQUISH 5 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 6700 3.4GHz (Codename Skylake) (Quad Core) (Not Overclockable) Motherboard: ASUS/GIGABYTE (Intel Z170 Chipset) System Memory: 8GB DDR4 2666MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 600W EVGA/Corsair Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) (Internal) Storage Set 1: 1x Storage (1TB Western Digital - Black Edition) <br><strong></strong> Storage Set 2: - No Thanks <br><strong></strong> Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: High Performance Cooler with Large Fan and Copper Pipes HydroLux Tubing Style: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected HydroLux Fluid Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected Cable Management: Premium Cable Management (Strategically Routed & Organized for Airflow) Chassis Fans: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled LED Lighting System (Multiple color options and lighting effects) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Automatic Overclocking Boost Graphics Card(s): - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Factory Reset Feature (Restore Windows + Drivers) (Partition up to 50GB of Storage) Virus Protection: FREE: McAfee AntiVirus Plus (1 Year Service Activation Card) (Not Pre-installed) ($35 Value) Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 15-20 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) You could change the i7-6700 cpu for the i5-6500 and stay under budget but the i7 will perform better for your needs. Either will work. You didn't mention the monitor resolution, but the gtx 1060 is very good for 1080p at med to high gaming. Most if not all graphics cards support multi monitor. Hope this helps. ![]() Edited by bprat22 - 26 Dec 2016 at 8:46am |

Thanks for the helpful advise!
I just want to check a little bit more on the monitors. I am planning to have a: (x1) LG 25UM58-P 25-Inch 21:9 UltraWide IPS Monitor with Screen Split in the middle and (x2) ASUS VS248H-P 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Back-lit LED Monitor on the outside Will these work with that particular configuration? Thanks!

The video cards typically have a DVI, 2x HDMI and 2x DisplayPort ports to connect monitors to. But they're not all the same. Worse case you get a dvi to hdmi adapter, etc to match your monitor to the card.
Just an FYI....the more monitors are being used at once, the lower the gaming frame rate because the video cards workload to render increases. Edited by bprat22 - 26 Dec 2016 at 12:51pm |
