[irfaanvex]

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here but I really need some advice.
I have no knowledge in building a pc whatsoever but any help would be much appreciated!

Budget : 1.5k - 1.8k
Purpose : Gaming, Video Editing, Music Recording

I play games such as DOTA 2, L4D2, CS:GO and I intend to edit some music recording on this pc as well. I am lost and I don't know where I should start. So please help me guys!!

1) Please name all video editing software that you are using and the level of video/music editing that you are doing.
2) Need KB, mice, monitor, OS?

Hi, I'm probably going to use vegas pro and it's not at a high level of what i'm doing. Pretty basic as I'm not an expert in any. And i prefer to use windows 7 and I don't need a kb and mouse as I already have one. But i do need a monitor and i would prefer a slighty larger monitor than the average ones haha
