Hi all, decided to build one desktop after my laptop died serving for 4 yrs. I am really outdated from recent hardware so decided to post here to get some help and advice from you all. ARIGATOOOO!!

[[Budget]
Wish to invest for 3-5yrs usage, so I will set my budget higher to 5k.

[Purpose]
Movies, wish to enjoy good quality of high end gaming experiences. No OC.

[Hardwares that will be re-use]
I have one unit of 120GB Samsung 840 evo SSD.

[Monitor resolution]
Probably will get a 23inch 1080p LED monitor, or any other recommendation?

[Games & softwares that use frequently]
Wish to learn some photo editing technique in the future.
Heard from my friend that watchdog is coming out soon? Gonna try that out!

[Personal preferences]
I5 is good enough? Or should I just go for i7?
Saw some comment of gtx780 is good in term of performance and noise. Ya I think I prefer quiet GC.

Thanks!
