First time $700 PC build

[andrethegiant]

Hello smart peoples. I don't know much about computers but I'm really interested in them so I have decided to build one with a $700 budget (with some wiggle room) including a monitor and a copy of windows 8, but not M&K. What I really need help on is picking out my Graphics card, memory, and mainly the CPU. I plan on using this computer for gaming (battlefield) at decent settings, video editing + rendering, and for everyday use. If anybody could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated. Also p.s. I want it to look super sexy(although I will go with performance)

 

 

Thank you
