Hey guys!
I'm new to computer builds, but not new to tech.
So let me start off with why I am upgrading. A couple of days ago before I went to bed I decided I should save energy, so I turned off my computer. The next day I go back to my computer and I get a lovely windows 8.1 (because my computer didn't like windows 10) blue screen of death, of course with their stupid and stuff staring you in the face... anyway long story short, I'm taking this opportunity to get (build) a new computer. This will be my first build.. and I want it to last... By which I mean I want to be able to upgrade it in the future (maybe).
These are my requirements / purposes for my computer:
I want an SSD as the boot drive, and a HDD as regular storage
I need it to run games at a nice speed (so a medium graphics card) right now I have 4 monitors, none are 4k, but I need something that can run games, and spit out lots of pixels without getting mad)
<sidenote / background info>
So basically... I want to tell you what I do, so you know what kind of computer I need....
In short, I do everything... One week I play Minecraft, the next I am editing video, the next I am building a website...
I need this computer to be fast no matter what I throw at it.

ok so lets continue:
I want a nice processor, not too caught up on 6 or 8 cores, as long as its fast ((I am prepared to spend a fair chunk of the budget on this)
Ram wise.... I have two 8gb sticks of:DIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1600 MHz (0.6 ns)
Not sure if I should keep that ram.... or get ddr4 (if the cpu supports it)
OK, well other than that (and possibly a windowed case ((window not necessary))) this is all that I require, so the most important part is the budget, my budget is between $1000 and $1400 cad, this total must include tax!
Thanks a ton!
