Hi, from the UK looking for a PC that can handle gaming, editing, recording and streaming. i currently am only using a 1440x900p monitor but plan on buying a 1080p monitor, any suggestions are much appreciated. i have a razer deathadder and a cherry keyboard (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cherry-JK-0300GB-Strait-Keyboard/dp/B00303FRKM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1417265717&sr=8-4&keywords=cherry+keyboard) , however i do plan on purchasing a mechanical keyboard.

Right here is basically the same build but with a cheaper yet high quality power supply and a cheaper same graphics card. This leaves you £120 for a case and any other improvements/accessories you might want to add.

 

EDIT: Also changed the ram to the same one but 1866 since it is a £1 cheaper :)

i may be wrong on this one, but i thought ram of that speed will hinder my pc's performance (fps) source

u can always buy slower ram   or  decrease speed from bios

but 2400 ram doesn't always run at 2400hz, its speed depends on cpu
