I was also wondering if the motherboard and the graphics card that root recommended to me were necessary. because they are a little pricey.

A fan is included with that i7 Processor, you need is a big case that has a lot of fans so the pc doesn't overheat, I would go with an i5 if you're gaming, i7 for editing. Also you need a power supply, get a power supply that can supply enough power to the whole computer.


P.S. You don't really need a SSD save you're self $200 - $300 dollars ;)

Haha alright thanks. I was getting worried about the i7 running me $300 bucks. Also how do I know how many watts I will need for my computer?

I like what you've got so far.
I suggest getting a smaller SSD and loading your OS on that, that's what I did at least.
