System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming,watching high rez movies,streaming movies/tv shows/video chat/maybe video editing

Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS: not required but still hoping to get input on everything but monitor

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: open to all

Additional Comments:I want to(if at all possible)not have to worry if my system can run a game on highest settings

Games:Guild wars 2,mincraft,steam games,borderlands 2, dishonored pretty much what the cool kids play

Again any help is greatly appreciated.

I have had some help before but up'ed the price a little and was wondering where i should use the money;what should i add or drop,just want to maximize off of my budget\get my moneys worth.

I'am asking for help again because this pc is a long time in the making;something i have been wanting a long time. I'm trying to get it right if not perfect for what i need,so don't want to mess around.
