I wouldn't touch iBUYPOWER with a 10 foot pole. They're not exactly known for quality control or quality technical support. There's far better OEMs you can get if you want pre built or build it yourself and you'll get a far better rig out of it.

I am looking at a budget of around 700-800 to build a gaming/streaming/editing rig. Also need a monitor in that build. Thanks for any help

I generally don't suggest monitors since that's a personal preference thing but this is what I would do for that budget:
