I have a macbook pro but it does not quite cut if for gaming and miltitasking. My budget is about 1000$. I would like a good gaming computer that is also good at video editing and miltitasking.
I need something that is also not too bulky amd heavy. Any suggestions?

It's a bit more expensive than what you wanted, but not so much that it would hurt. I didn't include a CPU Cooler because I am assuming you don't want to overclock your CPU. The motherboard I chose is relativly cheap, and should be upgraded pretty soon. I added an SSD for better boot up times. The video card I chose is a bit on the low end. It'll run minecraft, but not much else. The video card is a bit long, so you'll have to remove some drive bays in the case. I added Windows 8.1, but you can substitute that with any other OS. You'll need a wireless adaptor, which I added. I didn't add any monitors or other accessories.

That looks good except i would go for a western digital hard drive instead of sea gate, they are just a bit more reliable in my opinion. i also like windows 7 better but that is just a personal prefrence
