Hello all, I will be building my first gaming pc build soon, around early December, I am asking for a build now so I have it ready instead of asking later but I might I ask later depends if I feel like there are newer products that will be better for my budget, but yeah, I NEED EVERYTHING (KEYBOARD, MOUSE, MONITOR, OS, ETC.) Thanks in advance.

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Early December

Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping
$1000, $1100 MAX

System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Folding@Home, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies)
Most -> Least Important
Gaming - Streaming - Editing (Photoshop/Sony Vegas) - Streaming - Surfing the web - Watching movies

Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No
Yes, I need one, include in the build please.

Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**
None, starting from scratch.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes / No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.
Yes, I need one preferably Windows 8.1/8 which ever is cheaper, include in the build please.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing)
Does not matter.

Location: City, State/Region, Country - we need to know where these parts are being assembled and whether there are good store-only deals available
Escondido, CA, USA

Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU)
Does not matter but Intel would be good.

Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe
Maybe in the future but not now.

SLI or Crossfire: Yes / No / Maybe
Maybe in the future. More than likely not though.

Your Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or if you're upgrading please state what you'd want to get)
Um... Im not sure about this one, I guess 1920x1080?

Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using)
I would like it to run League of Legends, BF4, DOTA 2, DayZ, and other Steam games at least high or medium with no FPS problems.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: (e.g. I'm having trouble running game X or my PSU broke)
I want to get more serious about PC gaming and my laptop that I game in now sucks.

THANKS IN ADVANCE :D

If you can push the budget to $1100 this should do fantastic in editing and gaming. You could downgrade the cpu or gpu, but the $100 will go a long way in your case since you edit and game. This should max out most games at 1080p.

That would be good but it seems you did not read my post, I need everything from keyboard, mouse, to monitor.
Thanks though.

Although the first build is good, I would like to see more builds from others then I will pick, thanks.
