1. What I'm looking for: Advice on a build that can mainly run Rocket League at 1080p at a good framerate while recording through OBS (NOT STREAMING, at least for now). I would also like it to be good for editing fairly fluidly.

2. Budget: $800. I can go higher, but I don't want to go overkill if I don't need to. I don't think Rocket League is too intensive, so hopefully this is good.

3. Other: I'd of course like to have it be upgradable in the future. I'm new to PC builds, so any advice is appreciated :)
 
Two open memory slots for a memory upgrade down the road if needed and you have a CPU upgrade to be had with an i7. Past that, the build below is a well rounded machine and should have no trouble gaming at 1080. The upgrade to the i7 may help with editing, but the i5 is no slouch...
