First Time Builder Help ($700-$900)

[illiniguy]

I'm looking to build by first PC. I've considered an initial configuration, and any feedback/recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Approximate Purchase Date: This week


Budget Range: 700-900 after rebates


System Usage from Most to Least Important: Surfing Internet, Photo Editing, Streaming (through TV - need HDMI output), Video Editing


Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com


Country of Origin: USA


Parts Preferences: None


Overclocking: No


SLI or Crossfire: Maybe


Monitor Resolution: 1920 x 1080


Additional Comments: Any monitor recommendations would also be appreciated - this is just what I was thinking. I'm not tying the monitor purchase to the computer so it's not factored into my budget.
