New gaming PC?

[Chewique]

So, Recently i have been wanting a gaming pc because iMac's Are not good for gaming!

I am 13 years old and i will be getting this computer for christmas! This is my current plan so could you guys give me some

feedback and show me what could be better in my budget! A few things i want in the build are:

1. Im a NVDIA fanboy so i want a nvdia card

2. The games i plan to play are, GTA V, Minecraft (with shaders) and other games such as battle field!

3. I also plan to record, stream and edit video with this PC

 

In my budget, £1200 i do not need windows or a keyboard and mouse.

If possible i would like a link to a way i can get windows cheap so i don't have to spend so much money on it!

This is the link to my plan! http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/JG8g6h

Okay! I have heard great things about that SSD so i cant wait to try it out! What is the difference between a blue and black drive?

Blues are consumer, blacks are prosumer (and louder and live longer iirc) Just saying my build has a 980.

 

EDIT: Oh, multitasking... do you really want to overclock?
