I have a budget of $900 and I'm starting from scratch (no OS etc.) all I really have is one monitor (I would prefer two.) On this computer I plan on gaming, video editing, and game capture. All help is highly appreciated. Thanks! :)

Thanks! I really appreciate the help. I only need one monitor though. So do you think with the extra 100 I should get an ssd instead? Or should I upgrade on a different item. Or just leave as is? :)
