Budgeting a PC $750-900.

[Gkelley95]

I am looking for a build for a computer that can play games as well as make videos. We play a lot of League of Legends and sometimes GW2 and Minecraft. But my friend wants to be able to edit videos he record from his game as well. So He's willing to spend $750-900. Just looking for the Tower and OS. Thanks!
