    nothing, sadly

    Default Tech-Challenged and attempting to build a PC

    I was gonna post this in the tech thread, but it seems to be suited specifically for problems, and I don't really have a problem. I'm just very new at this whole customization thing. A couple friends irl are gonna help me actually build it, but as far as components go, I'm pretty much clueless.

    I'm not going for a gaming pc, but I do want something that can perform well for basic video editing (mostly for my let's plays and various projects.) Aside from video editing, I just need to be able to perform every day tasks with it.

    I did some research and these are the parts I picked out on newegg. I don't know how to tell whether or not these pieces will be compatible, and that's pretty much where i'm stuck. Any advice on whether or not this is a good set-up for the build would be greatly appreciated.

    Case: Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0

    (I just thought it looked really sleek)

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-M Pro LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

    Video Card: AMD 633897-ZH1 Radeon HD 6770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 Video Card

    power supply: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandybridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom

    CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I73770K

    Memory: CORSAIR DOMINATOR 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMP8GX3M2A1600C9

    Monitor: Asus VE248H Black 24" Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor w/Speakers (I'm assuming this doesn't really matter for the purposes of picking out the components, but I thought I should mention it.)

    DVD Drive: ASUS DVD Burner Black SATA Model DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS


    I haven't had a chance to look in additional heatsinks and of course I still need peripherals, but for now, I'm more concerned with whether or not this set-up will work. (Again, total newb in this area.)

    Once again, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    if you're doing just simple stuff, you're spending way too much money here, man.

    But I use that word loosely.

    Good luck.

    Also, you do want a sorta nice Gaming Computer in order to make let's plays the best you can.
    You also will need a decent capture card.
