Getting a new pc! Ideas please

[Isaacswag]

Hi I am looking for a gaming pc that can give me about 300-400 fps but is less than $1000. Please leave a comment if you have a suggestion! Thanks

I can tell you one thing, you really don't need 300-400 fps. The most you'll need is ~120.

As for what parts, Erisyuka can tell you that

Ok so $1000, recording and gaming.
few questions:
What program are you going to use for editing videos? (this affects which graphics card will be more beneficial.)
(Sony Vegas = Nvidia, Adobe Premier = AMD, else = not sure)
Does this price include the mouse, keyboard, speakers, and monitor?
do you need wifi on this machine or are you able to use ethernet?

Last question:
Preference between Windows 7 or 8.1?
(8 is faster and overall just better in this scenario, you can just get a really good start button add on for $5, I have one) http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/

Windows 8.1 and thanks for the tip

Oh wait one more:
Do you want an SSD and a Hard drive or just a hard drive?
(SSD is flash memory, like USB sticks and iPhones have)
SSDs will make games and windows faster, this way you can have speed for that stuff and lots of storage for recording and stuff.
Just using a HD is fine though.

I'll take the SSD and the Hard Drive please

Alright so here are 2 options. One is $30 over budget but is totally worth is.
Their both exactly the same except for the amount of ram. One has 4Gb and the other has 8GB, having more ram is nice for editing.

I also forgot to ask an important question, are you comfortable building the computer/have some one who is? because this is a parts list.
