Guys before i start, i already have my mind set on a pc build made my archgaull.and i may change if anyone posts better build.i made another post because my previous post was very messy.

Approximate Purchase Date: depending on price(a few months)

Budget Range: 550-650 before shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: recording minecraft, video editing,3d effects, heavy games like bf4,crysis 4 etc

Are you buying a monitor: Yes but dont include it in the budget because it may not be able in my country

Do you need to buy OS: Yes i prefer windows 7 and 10

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: pcparkpicker

Parts Preferences: brands i prefer are: intel, asus, corsair, msi, gigabyte, evga and cooler master

Overclocking: yes

SLI or Crossfire: maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 60hz 16:9 1440x900-1920x1080

Additional Comments: i want a nvidia card so i can use shadowplay.

Thats all. Please dont be shy to leave an answer and help me. And if i pick your build, you'll get mentioned in my minecraft shader benchmark video.

You can also go with an h97 motherboard to save a few dollars, but I threw in a Z97 if you wanted to upgrade your cpu in the future for better Overclocking, and a few more features.

not much room for overclocking on this but vastly superior at rendering. The Xeon stock cooler isn't too bad either.

Since you look like you are waiting a while to get into a build, I would suggest getting either the Xeon E3 1230v3 or 1231v3 and an h97 board with a GTX 950 in your budget or the i5 4690k is good too depending on your budget when you get there.
