hello, I've been viewing this forum for a while now and I've decided to go some help regarding my diy pc. I'm looking to diy with a budget of about 1k including monitor and os. The purpose will be for light gaming such as league, cs go as well as some light video editing. It's going to be my first time building and I would really appreciate some help on where to get the best bang for my buck. also, if it matters I'll be building it in about two weeks time where I have my block leave! I appreciate any advice and help, thanks!

just wondering whether should I wait for a cheaper and better graphic card. Saw another of your post of a gtx960 for just a bit more but since then the price has increased. is it worth waiting for up to two weeks?

well if u can hire a contractor to help u route to ur room for stable connections and faster speed. if still die die want to use wifi definitely get a wifi card for more stable connections. well u can get cheap usb one but speed will be slow.
