I just need the best computer for that amazing price range. It needs to be really op. I use it for heavy gaming and editing.

The best 5500USD PC is a 3000USD PC everything after that is just diminishing returns. (Except for certain specific scenarios)

 

Get a 4790K, dual 980Ti, 16Gb Ram and a nice SSD...

 

Or if you feel its necessary go for X99 with 5820K, all else the same.

Core i7 4820K  |  NH-D14 | Rampage IV Extreme | Asus R9 280X DC2T | 8GB G.Skill TridentX | 120GB Samsung 840 | NZXT H440  |  Be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 650W
