[Build Help] Under $1000 (Light gaming, recording, video editing, browsing)

xpost from /r/buildapc

Looking for a good computer that will last atleast 2 years, dont mind upgrading it about $200 worth in about 6 months-1 year.

Things I will be doing on it:

Crossfire (the game, very CPU intensive)
Counter-Strike
Light Steam gaming (Dead Island, etc)
Bandicam (50fps/fullsize, with no lag in either CF or CS)
Light Photoshop
Browsing

Things I do not need:

Headset
Mouse
OS
Optical Drive

Things I want the build to have:

Dual monitors (pref 1080p)
Large white case

I will not be overclocking it right now, will invest in a good cooler if I plan on doing it later.

And I would like the system to be really cool when idle, quiet is a bonus.

Thanks a lot guys.

I want it to remain a high quality system for that time, then I will update it.

A little over $1000 but a very solid build IMO.

Why the huge price dif in the PSU even though the cheaper one provides more power?

Brands, SeaSonic is a pretty known one and builds PSU even for other brands.

Raidmax is not really a known brand so ya they can't really expect much.

Raidmax used to be kinda bad but the have increased there quality in the past years so imo the do the job good.

But if you want a more known brand: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1sfTS
Same build but then with a Crosair CX600 PSU (promo going on instead of 70 for 40 dollars)

Corsair doesn't make PSUs. They just put a label on OEM ones from Seasonic, Flextronics, etc.
Used to own a G 550W, but it fried my components.

So far I know only the AX series are created by Seasonic for crossair and CX/GS and Some HX/TX are created by CWT and they are pretty reliable imo and most people agree with that.(so far I read)

AX is Seasonic
AXi is Flextronics
TX is Seasonic
HX is Seasonic
TXM is CWT
CX is CWT
