When I say editing, I don't mean hardcore movie editing with 1 second rendering. I just need something that will render fine and edit nicely. I need gaming to be at its best with the latest games that are coming out, and have came out. I want programs to boot up nicely and not slow. I need space to store them, and I need to get things done fast. I am also a Youtuber, so I need to record games like BF4 and whatnot on a regular basis. I also need to be able to connect to a wireless internet connection. I don't want the most hedious case in the world, either. A side window would be nice, although not necessary. I want options in the future to upgrade processor, videocard, ram, harddrive space, and pretty much everything.

I also get another $60 bucks in 4-6 weeks but I honestly want to get this out of the way. So just list me parts I should get from $520 to $600 and I'll look them up. Thank you for your suggestions.

RAM: 1866 for the price of 1600. why not?
HDD: solid company
case: good for the budget
GPU: 660 will play games at High.

I am in the United States. I don't need an OS, Monitor, Keyboard, or mouse. I do need a wifi adapter. I don't want to record and play BF4 on Ulta. Anywhere from Regular up is fine by me as long as no lag and good graphics while recording.
