Budget might be 900$ or so
Don't become afootpluto,some prebuilt are actually good,but this one is bad,for the price you can fit a i5 4690 and gtx 970,only paying for the looks like alienware

I would like to see a linkt to a good prebuilt. And yes a i5 with a GTX 970/R9 290 would work well for this budget.

Don't ask me about prebuilts. The answer is the same. Waste of money.

? Or is there any way to get it to be around $750 with the same speed?
The PC from bestbuy you linked is $850. And unless you already have a unused copy you need to add an OS. Also get a 4690K with a Gigabyte Z97X-SLI. or something similar. Overclocking comes in handy when your CPU starts to become outdated.

You're quite a bit over the budget, and even without that it really isn't the best you could do for the money. These two are better:
FX-8350: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qbnGt6
i5: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/n9qbGX
First one is more editing focused, the latter is slightly faster in most games.
He wanted a $750 build and if you would notice I did include an FX 8350.

It's over $830 straight up. You have to pay the components first and getting the money back from rebates can easily take months. There are also other components in builds than the CPU, the power supply in yours is worse in pretty much everything but straight out wattage it can supply, and the XFX's VRM is poorly cooler so it can easily reach 100C+ under load.
The 990FX Killer is also a joke, a local review site did their 8370E review with it, and when they tried overclocking it they couldn't figure out why it hit a wall already at 4.1GHz with an NH-D15. They swapped the board for the UD5 and got it to 4.9GHz.
Thank you for the advice when recommending builds. I'll be sure to use this when making other builds.

So this one is my best bet? And could you also link me one for $750 just in case my budget doesn't allow
On it.

That $800 build will get you very far. Top of the line for gaming. Absolutely insanely powerful.
