Do you have any ideas of best cpu's and gpu's about 300$ each , planning to do some video editing , gaming and streaming, thanks a lot :) Also some motherboards if you can
 
Okay for the CPU the i7 4790k can be bought for $318, this CPU is great for all tasks you have stated (video editing and streaming + gaming). But if you really want cheaper the i5-4690K is $219, although it would not peform as well as the i7 in video editing and streaming but the gaming performance would be basically identical. For the GPU if you can stretch your budget a little bit ($15-$50) you can pick up a GTX 970 which is a brilliant card and performs flawlessly at 1080p and still a great experience at higher resolutions such as 1440p. If you want closer to $300 you can find the R9 290 or R9 290X, which perform similarly to the GTX 970 but produce a lot more heat and are significantly more power hungry. So overall my recommendations are the i7 4790k and GTX 970 as number 1 choice, but if you want to go cheaper the i5 4690k and R9 290/X would also be a wise decison as my number 2 choice. Hope I helped :)
 
Oh and for the motherboard, any Z97 motherboard should be okay. Motherboards really depend on colour scheme and features you want so i find them hard to recommend. But the ASRock Z97 Extreme3 is a nice cheap blue one which supports 2 way SLI, and the ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer also suports SLI but is red. Motherboard choice also depends on what sort of case you will be using as that determines the form factor of the motherboard. So if you could tell me what case you are using i could give a more accurate reccomendation :)
