Right now i have a laptop that is kinda going down the craper and id really appreciate upgrading to a desktop computer. What i would use it for is video editing with Sony Vegas and playing games on Steam, if i could run all the games on high quality and still have it run smoothly that would be the bee's knees! i don't really have specifics for pieces or parts, just something that can run games on high quality and smooth and also have a lot of space. I have a money quota of a few hundred over a grand, tho if it can stay a grand or lower that would be even better, whatever help anyone could give me is fantastic! thanks(:
I doubt i'll do any overclocking, and alot of games ranging from Minecraft, to Skyrim, to Fallout 3 to even Garry's Mod and even games like LoL and Smite. A bunch really I'll also be using Sony Vegas Pro 12, which is probably the only program id be using a lot overall. I'll probably get the peripherals myself, but if it could come with Windows 7 perfessional that would be peachy. Im from USA more specifically Ohio, and i have a budget of about $1,300

You can do it for about half of what they are picking for you. Find a good barebones kit from newegg or tigerdirect. Then add in the missing parts. You can build a very nice rig for $500-$600 USD. Give or take they picked about the best parts out. Which is great for video editing. I was just trying to help save some money. ( GO BUCKEYES FOOTBALL)

He asked for a build at $1,300, and that's what we are doing. Not %100 needed, but still.
The OP didn't say they wanted a $1300 build...they said the budget is around $1300....nothing wrong with trying to save somebody some money....and thx ngsizzle....at least someone knew what it meant.
popsicle club - You said that is what "we" are doing. You haven't done anything on this post yet but try to downplay me. Next time, read into a post a little bit before you try to put somone else's post down. You say mine is not %100 needed....Well I say your was not 100% needed as well. At least mine pertained to what the OP was talking about.

Not %100 needed as, you don't need to spend the whole $1,300.

I haven't contributed in this specific thread because builds have been posted, and they are very similar to what I would have recommended
