What CPU?

[Gregbenson715]

I want to be able to play and record games at 1080p 60fps, also a little bit of video editing. I was thinking maybe a Xeon e3 1231 v3?

Any other suggestions?

Xeon E3-1231 V3 is definitely best budget choice for such applications.

You could also check the newer E3-1240 V5

don't forget those skylake xeons dont work on z170 , and they need a c232 or c236 chipset.
