Hey guys would you recommend me for a good gaming/video editing/recording PC for 1000 dollars including monitor and os. I live in Canada, so parts are more expensive in here
 
Solution
Sure, but that will come at the expense of another part (or parts). Not really much to reduce in that build... You are already at an i3 processor and don't want to go "lower". You might be able to save a little going with an ASRock motherboard. Can't really save much on the memory or HD... The case is cheap as it stands although sports solid airflow and front USB 3.0. Your only other place to save costs is with the monitor... Can you increase the budget at all?
