First Gaming PC

[Chritt]

I am looking to build a gaming PC build for around $850 this month or next month. I would preferably like to use an Intel CPU and be able to edit a little, but would also like to get the best bang for my buck. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Removed the OS and added an SSD after the OP stated just the components in the build...

Are we to include the price of a monitor, keyboard and mouse?

Nope, just the components to the PC.

The Xeon would be better than an i5 for editing.
