Additional Comments: I want a quiet computer with a nice and neat looking case. I want to be able to run games on ultra while recording like Minecraft or Battlefield 4 or COD Ghosts or anything else. I want to edit fast for the next few years, or at least render decently. I'm pretty patient, but I dont want complete freezing or lag. I want this PC to work very very well for every task I plan to do.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current laptop can't run anything at all or edit anything at all.

You can go even more low if you want by changing the GPU to EVGA 02G-P4-3063-KR GeForce GTX 660 2GB at $189.99 and place the $60 somewhere else, or maybe keep them at your pocket :).
