My friend just recently build his gaming PC from Overclockers for about £900-£1000, so ive decide to begin building my own as my current PC is a dinosaur and I enjoy making videos for you tube and playing games in ultra settings but cant at the moment with my accent computer that runs games at 10 FPS.

This is my build so far, As stated in the title i'm looking for a computer that is good for video editing using programs such as Sony Vegas and play and record games with good visuals and good FPS, any tips or help will be grateful. :)

• Silenced case, sound dampening, plenty of cooling with speed adjustable fans and room for large coolers and GFX cards.
• Faster SSD, the IOPS are an important number too.
• The 290X card is as fast if not faster than a GTX970 also many programs such as Sony Vegas use OpenCL to help accelerate the application.

I know you say you want this for gaming and Sony Vegas editing. FYI the GPU will not work on Vegas - you'll have to disable GPU acceleration as the newest GPU's Vegas will work with are the Geoforce 570 and 580 GTX. Probably not wild enough for your gaming though. But heegh, very few can use GPU successfully with Vegas - just let the CPU do the work.
