I only play MMORPG games usually, and I want a pretty cheap pc to run most mmorpg games at ''maxed'' out settings. I've heard that you don't need a very expensive computer to run mmorpg games at max.. I don't want you to think too much about the price, but I don't want too expensive either.. I've heard that a 600-800$ build is enough, but my limit is prolly at 1200$, even tho I think that u can go for a cheaper pc. I want to play almost all mmorpg games at max and at 60+ FPS.

GPU: r9 270x
PSU: 750 corsair (you could probably get a 600 and be fine)

Update: Forgot to mention that I am gonna do alot of extreme HD editing, so i need a good CPU and RAM for that too.
I don't need windows and optical drive, because I have it already

So you are really after more of an editing build.
Ahmadjon gave you a good build option, if you want to invest a bit more in a CPU, go for an i7, and then invest in 4 sticks of RAM instead of 2.
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($159.99 @ Newegg)
If you don't want to invest more, stick with what Ahmadjon posted, it's a good build just doesn't have the hyperthreading of the i7.

Or you can push your $1200 budget along those lines:

i7 CPU and 4 sticks of ram for video editing, and a 4GB 770 for gaming and should let you run dual or triple monitors if you ever wanted to.

At this point it's all about how you want to spend your money.
 
4x4GB memory useless in dual channel mode 2x8 is better, future proof and cheaper, no need on 4GB version of 770 if he uses single 1080p monitor

Nvm, forget the editing extreme editing..
I need to include a monitor, headset and a keyboard.
This is what I got to with monitor, headset and a keyboard included.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3j6yf
Will this be able to run most mmorpg games at maxed settings and 60+ FPS? Mainly, I play Aion, and Titanfall, so will this be able to max those games, and most other mmorpg games?

My limit is at 1200$ with monitor, keyboard and headset.

If you are gonna make a new custom build for me, make sure you include the same keyboard, headset and SSD.
 
Changed couple things to better ones

Edit: Your build doesn't include SSD!
