get e.g. a gigabyte d3h (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97md3h) mobo and i5 4460 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54460). For the first time, you can leave the stock cooler on it. Way better than anything else you chose.

 

EDIT: before you get a 4690k, get a xeon 1231 v3 for video editing: multithreading is here very important. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646e31231v3

I wouldn't go AMD for either GPU or CPU. If you do want an AMD GPU, wait until 300 series releases, and if they suck, 200 series prices will plummet, and then buy one of those. But if 300 series is good, buy one of those. Also, FX CPU doesn't belong in a modern desktop computer. They are inefficient and they overheat. I'd go Intel for an editing rig, so i5 4460 or 4690 or 4690K or something like that. But if you decide not to wait on 300 series, go with GTX 960 4GB or 970 or 980Ti

FX does not overheat unless you inadequately cool it or OC it too much. And if you're doing video editing and rendering the extra cores of an 8350 will help you more than an i5 which will win in gaming (though the low end one that's being recommended is pretty close). Also, the 8350 is unlocked so you can OC it. And as for the 4gb 960. NO! BAD! NO! You can literally have a 4gb 290 (competes more with a 970) for $10 less than the cheapest 4gb 960. The 2gb 960 would be a pretty good card if it didn't have just 2gb of VRAM. I personally would use 3 minimum to be safe about going over. Honestly, a 280x will be about 100% better and has an extra gig of VRAM for $10 more than the cheapest 960, I would just go with that. Here's a link to a PCPP filtered by price list of 960's, 280's, 280'x, and 290's. If you choose a 290 (still a bit cheaper than the one you had selected) I suggest the tri-x or PCS+ cooler.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

Thanks everyone for your replies, i finished my list with your tips :D

I'd personally recommend getting a full ATX board as opposed to uATX. They have more expansion slots and (generally) more memory slots. 

That uATX motherboard doesn't actually look too bad, but still.

Incipere V5.0

But he wants to do gaming with the system...If you use an FX CPU in a gaming PC, that will get you laughed at...And it would be a waste in my eyes to buy a 200 series card with the 300 series coming so soon...It'd be more worthwhile to wait, and see if the 300's are good or not...If you buy a 200 now and find out the 390X beats the Titan X (won't happen, just an exaggeration) then you'd be pretty disappointed that you will have bought a 200 card just before the launch of the 300 cards...Same with if they release new CPUs alongside the new GPU's...Come to find out the new top-end "gaming/editing" CPU beats the 5960X for a lot cheaper, you'd also be pretty damn disappointed to have bought an outdated product that's not good for playing games anyway...But if it were an editing only rig, I would go FX all the way because they're so cheap, and they can edit well thanks to their high number of fast cores.

 

I don't think you can get optimal performance whether it be gaming or editing...I would recommend building seperate rigs for either task..but the list is completed...And that's not very convenient to have 2 towers...
