So I wan't to be able to play all of the newest games on this computer on mainly max setting's and I do small flash animations and small editing/rendering for YouTube. I have around a $1400 budget, this is what I have been thinking of;

Processor: AMD FX-8350
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
RAM: 8GB DDR3-1866 G.Skill Ripjaw X
And some fairly cheap fan, 1TB hard drive and 750w power source.
(All above is about $1200)

All of that has room for change since I was thinking of a Radeon 7900 series instead of the GeForce and some other Intel processor is possible.

THANKS :)  .

You want to game, and yet you are going with the AMD route, You are looking at a 1200 budget i think you could do a little better, but in this case you also want to edit and render youtube videos. But if you go amd you can get a GTX 770, looks like you got a winner build, i would just try to get a better motherboard, so you could overclock your cpu in 1 or 2 years from now.

Well what do you think about sn1992's reccomendation? I am kind of a big noob in this realm so I just read reviews etc and the gaming aspect of the build is definitely most important so I could risk losing a bit of the editing/rendering capabilities.

Best solution

Well about his build, I really dont like the Asrock Motherboard that he choose, its of bad quality, not the brand, but that model its known to have many problems and be often sent back DOA.
The other thing its that here on Tomshardware, we have a law, You always go for the Best Single Gpu you can afford, You never Go sli right away. Why?, First of all Because in 2 or 3 years when your setup starts to slow down, you can always get another Card and go SLI or CROSSFIRE, in this case you would be getting a Single GTX 770 instead of the 2 GTX 760, that way in 2 years you would have a GTX 770 sli, instead of the GTX 760 sli. The Second thing is that Using sli requires good planing on Airflow, because you have 2 Cards Workig togueter the power requirements and the Heat produced on this 2 Cards Would Damage Slowly your build, even when Treated Correctly.

In less Words, I suggest you to get the Best Single Card your money can get you, use sn1992's build just change the motherboard to something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
and get this Video Card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... Using this motherboard and Videocard will get you the same price, better quality Motherboard and a Future Upgrade path in the Videocard. Anyway you are gonna max every game.

Very true, I understand now and I think I am going to go with the single 770 since it seems like a more logistic choice, thank you very much for all of your contributions!! :D  Hopefully another 770 will be added in a year or two!
