How to Build a Computer - September 2013

A viewer contacted me and said he needed a PC for his office that was fast, quiet and reliable and that he wanted to add a nice video card to in the near future so he can create and render business-related videos to put on YouTube. The parts I recommended are essentially the exact same parts I use to edit and render my videos.
