Yea, it won't be cheap I'll tell you that.

If your looking for a well balanced gaming to video and audio editing pc then dpeneding on how much your willing to spend the optimal components for your usage would maybe be a GTX 780 as your GPU maybe a i74770K for your CPU and 16 GB of ram from a manufacturer of your choice? and with PSU etc that would probably add up to around 1300$

i agree. i7 processor is a must. if your on a tight budget 8gb of ram will be fine but ideally 16

How many cores would be ideal?? I'm thinking between a quad- core or 6 core processor..
