Hello mates. I am on the market for a $1600 to $1800 pc. I am a enthusiast gamer who enjoys playing some battlefield here and there. What i will be using this mostly for is video editing. I use Adobe Premier and Sony Vegas pro in my studio. I also will be doing some light Photoshop use. I will like to also dual boot mac with windows This will be my fist build and I am open to all suggestions.

Gets you a processor that will dominate in video editing, and can be overclocked far. 12 threads running at 4.5+ GHz will destroy the 4770 :)
