$8000 computer building budget.Need ideas on builds

[meatball2860]

i need to give my old dinosaur a rest and build a new Beast for ME to play around with like video games and video editing.

 

[Flomps]

there are 2 roads or you to take...

either get a kickass gaming pc for 2000$ or a disney pixar-style workstation with that money. why so much you ask? because 1 processor would cost as much as the gaming pc put together. or get a pseudo gaming/workstation pc which aint amazing at either but can do both fairly well.
