So as the title says I want this to be used for all around use and I would like to game and edit on it as well. 

My budget is $900, this does not include the case, mouse, keyboard.

I would like to know what you guy think is best, PCpartpicker please for Canada.

 

*Edit* I should add that I do not need OS, monitors, nor HHD. I have 24 gb of 1333mz memory if that is usable anymore)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

This will give you the best performance within your price range, enjoy!

I assumed your case support ATX form factor motherboard, you need to add os, peripherals and monitor.
