Im looking to build a new pc that can play any game on best settings and I can record gamplay and edit videos with best quality. Basically i want to get into making youtube videos such as various youtube stars. Seems fun. As of right now price does not matter. so i am looking for a pc that will handle all of these tasks without any issues and last to keep up with future games. I also would like to know the best recording and editing software there is. any info will help, Thanks.

If money honestly isn't a problem I would recommended going with this build, between the I7 and the GTX 980ti this means that even at 1440p you wont struggle to keep up high frame rates even while steaming/recording, the hyper threading on the I7 will make a huge difference to you as far as playing while recording it also doesn't hurt for rendering video's the 6GB on the GTX 980ti is really nice and will help speed up rendering a ton. ive got you a nice Liquid cooler for your CPU so you can overclock this nicely alternitivly you could take the Nocta D14 or 212 Evo if you prefer air cooling.

Recording software possibilities are huge, lots of people use Fraps but this takes up a massive amount of space on your hard drives that why I gave...

Recording software possibilities are huge, lots of people use Fraps but this takes up a massive amount of space on your hard drives that why I gave you 500Gb of SSD + HDD, as far as editing software goes Sony Vagas is known to be a very good program for that, if you have any other questions let me know.
