Gaming/Editing Build Advice

[SilverTech]

Alright guys so I've got $1300 to work with, and that includes monitor, keyboard/mouse, optical drive, wireless network adapter, etc. I will be doing video editing for YouTube and playing some games like bf4, gta 5, cs: go, and upcoming games like Star Wars battlefront. Also I will be doing very heavy multitasking. Anything you can come up with please, and also a touch of aesthetics would help a little:) Please use pcpartpicker because it is the simplest way, thx.

I would consider getting skylake since there is a budget for it, maybe even a r9 390x as well.

that would require dropping the price in other parts, but i think balance at this budget is important.

These are pretty good ideas, but I think you guys are missing that I said I wanted an editing machine too. i5 and only 8gb ram for editing? Maybe so, but I would still like to get a few more ideas:)

[BigDay]

choose one of the following cpu's:

 

xeon 1231 v3 (cooler: 212 evo)

6700k (cooler: noctua u14s)

 

you'll probably have enough for the following gpu's:

 

r9 390

r9 390x

 

just build around that

Is this any good?

[Guest Palurien85]

Here is my suggestion.

 

I went with i7-5820k cause its great for editing and games. 16 Gb RAM for editing, 8Gb is good for gaming. I cut out the SSD cause it saves money, you could always get one down the road. I went with GTX 960 cause its still ok for gaming but doesn't cost a fortune. Lastly I went with a cheaper case, better PSU, the one you picked wasn't that good. CX is not meant for higher end rigs. Also I went with an ASUS monitor cause they are a lot better than Acer.
