Gaming and video editing at 1000 dollars max. Resolution I don't really know, doesn't really matter. Windows 10 is included at 20 bucks in the other catagory

Decent build.....can't change anything....It's a really decent build

Pretty solid build, but you might need more storage depending on what sort of content you are editing.

[BurblingBarbacoa]

Well.  This is a pretty good build.  Some things need to change. First off is your storage solution. Bigger HDD and a bigger SSD will be needed. I recommend a 240gb SSD and a 1tb HDD as a baseline for video editing or any computer that will need a fair amount of storage like a gaming rig. I reckoned a 240gb SSD and two 2tb HDDs in raid 1 (losing lots of data from an edit sucks from first hand experience).  

 

Not it nessisary but maybe look at a Z170 board and a 6700k or even go X99 with a 5820k or a 6 core Xeon if you really plan for this to be a serious ending workstation.  If you are just editing on the side then 6700 is fine. If you do get an over locking ready cup I recommend a Noctua NHD15s and if you just want to stick with a locked possessor then stay with the stock cooler if you want but I recommend something cooler and quieter like 92mm tower cooler from Noctua or a Hyper 212 Evo.

 

Those are the only things I would change.

Nope. A 390 is probably a better option than a 970 and definitely better than two 960s. Not that I am one to talk.  I run 960 sli.

But if you are using Adobe programs like Premier Pro it would benefit from Cuda from the 970.

[BurblingBarbacoa]

You can still get GPU acceleration from the 390 that will mean a similar level of performance.  But yes. Good point.

I went with a 390 because the motherboard is crossfire compatible but not SLI
