I was thinking about posting this on the forums but not really sure where I would do it, hopefully I get some guidance with this from the users here =D

I have been thinking about making my own rig for the first time in my life. Just felt the time was right, so I got a bunch of questions aside from the normal one which is "What parts are the best?". My budget is around $1000-1300 (is this too low?) I am looking to have a dual screen set up, does it take one graphics card or two? I know I will need a wireless router in my rig, I live in Canada so what site is fast and cheap with shipping the parts?

Could something do wrong while I am putting everything together? Is it easy or do you need a degree in rocket science to put it together? (that was a joke btw but really how much knowledge do you need for this?)

Of coruse I will be using it for gaming, programming (in school for it right now) and make editing a few videos.
