I would like to buy a desktop that is under $1400.
I don't need monitor or OS. I also want a cooling, not stock cooling.
Intel and Nvidia please.
I already got a case.
Semi or Full Module PSU please.
Thanks

an i7 with gaming many help with streaming or if you have some insane multi tasking going on, but otherwise editing is where it comes in handy.

Everything you'll need.

Good OC board and CPU cooler.

Good RAM.

Better back up HDD.

Had a lot of extra budget so I went with a higher end 780.

850W is overkill for this rig, got you something more appropriate, if you plan to SLI ever you should stick with a 850W.
