I'm planning on buying a new pc and want to be able to run at a solid 60fps on games like Battlefield, or CS:GO. I also video edit and record so I would need to render and so forth, I am leaning more towards AMD processors due to their optimized video but I would work well with other processors if need be.

Thanks, ask any questions in comments ;3

For video rendering, recording and gaming all 3 in 1, I'd suggest going Intel instead of AMD. The i7 4790K is one processor that would outright destroy any AMD processor out there in terms of video editing and rendering speed.

32GB for gaming is an overkill, for rendering and video editing? it depends on your editing or rendering material's complexity and size.
If it is not that ocmplex, 16GB will do just fine and you can always another 16GB anytime you want.

I would take SSDs bigger than 250GB if you plan to put your editing material and games in the SSD, let say 500GB or 1TB.

If you plan to play games on higher fps @1080p, let say above 60 fps, or if you plan to upgrade to 1440p or even 4k, why not consider to get GTX980Ti? the 6GB VRAM could be beneficial too for rendering/editing.

I render with Sony Vegas Pro 12, I normally record/render at 720p, however my monitor is 1366x768 (native) 683:384 compression.
However, I want to change that to whatever 1280x720p's closest compression rate is.

I normally delete many videos after I upload them, so i wouldnt keep raw footage on my pc, and the most upgraded I would get to would be 1440p, nothing higher (I don't see the point in it) And if I were to end up going there then I would probably have enough money to buy the products needed.
