Hey there magic computer wizards!

My computer has become a little out dated and I am planning on building a new gaming computer which will be easier for my YouTube channel. I honestly have never built a computer and I don't know which parts are good.

I want the computer to run Destiny, Battlefield 4, and other random games that come out in the future.

My budget is $1,000 and a little over.

If you already have a monitor and peripherals and what not, this would be my suggestion, at least if you plan on putting doing a lot of video editing and what not since you have youtube channel.

This is probably what I would go for. The Xeon E3 1231v3 is basically an i7 without the integrated graphics and is locked so it cannot be overclocked. For builders who don't plan to overclock their CPUs it is a great choice.

You could also look at the gtx 770 since it is around the same price as the r9 280x if you want their physx or shadowplay for recording.

The CPU and GPU can run almost all games on High to ultra with good FPS.
IF you wanna go down on cost take 1 TB HDD and reduce $30.
