My first computer rig

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.

If we can build an $800 gaming machine for an Aussie, we can build you one for $1000-$1300CDN. I live in Canada too, and Memory Express is where I usually shop. When building a system, just take your time, and read the installation manuals. Come here if you need help.

Need monitor(s), OS, keyboard/mouse and speakers?

Also, what is the purpose? I'd assume gaming, but anything else?

I'm sorry I missed the last bit. However, you never stated if you needed to buy the monitors or if you already owned them(I still don't know, I assume you need to buy) and not many people need a kb/mouse, only an OS.

Build coming later.
