Need some suggestions on the CPU/processor i should use, i can figure the rest out from there but if you got a nice build for around $700-750, I would love to see it.

Also, (forgot to add this) I will probably be playing games like Minecraft or World of Warcraft, but I may also play FPS games. I may also be editing/rendering videos on this and possibly stream if this PC can handle it.

You could try the amd fx 6300.
My last build had this cpu, very solid and a good overclocker.

its not possible currently but depends on what you want to play, if you want to run most/almost all games now on the market you should consider 800$ least price to give you a taste, for top tier gaming pc you should look into alienware gaming pc.

I don't plan on overclocking so would you still suggest this CPU?

For editing and rendering i would go for the 8320, more cores so it can handle more programs at once.

Alright this is my build right now.

I need help on the motherboard. I can't find a good one that would be less than $100. I also am wondering if i would need a CPU Cooler?
