Says in title. I need a rig like this. Os monitor or keyboard and mouse is not needed. Main purpose of this computer is for video editing and occasional gaming. Thanks.

Video editing is a joke, any new(er) CPU will do(even 2012 FX's). Edit some video on your (old?) PC, it will likely be done immediately(or close too it). But for huge files the bottleneck will be the mechanical HDD. If you're dealing with files that amount to hundreds of gigs everyday, you'll want at least two 1TB SSD's. One read and one write.

Double check benchmarks of your favorite games. If they are CPU dependent an FX may score poorly. And be aware AM3+ is an old platform, a dead end. I can't recommend it in 2014.

I would prefer intel. But I understand that this AMD processor is better? Or no? And no I don't have any parts that I'm re using. I just need the basic computer itself. Not needed in the build are monitor, keyboard and mouse, OS.

Alright cool so the processor will be the AMD 8350 8 core. Can you help put together a build that adds up all to about $950 including taxes and shipping and all that? The build isn't supposed to look pretty. For a case I want a CM N200. Micro mobo. Good cheap ram. 1tb. Do I need an SSD? Because this is a clients build. So yeah!..
