@Vital_Stigma posted a new topic, subject "Any suggestions on gaming/editing pc under 1000?". It read:

   Need help on building a great pc and also I want to use windows 8.1 thanks for the help in advance.

After which, @thefish322 added

    would you be open to buying used? Where are you located, if USA check your craigslist listings you can sometimes find good deals on barebones systems. Let me know if you need help I can guide you through this process.   
    For editing/gaming, a strong gpu will do wonders when dealing with rendering. At one point Cuda was the dominant force, but now that power seems to be fairly challenged with the new opencl.  
    Which editing programs do you plan to use?

    Cheap Windows 8.1 here
    
    Why did you create a duplicate thread? I've updated my build recommendation to include a SSD btw. Please delete one of these threads.

    Didn't include OS because i'm unsure if you're wanting to use linux or purchase a cheaper version of windows here on the forums

    It's a monster for gaming and editing. A Xeon w/ hyperthreading is a bit better than the FX 9590 for editing, rendering, gaming, etc., especially at this budget. Plus, it doesn't output as much heat or consume as much power.
    
    16GB of RAM is a no brainer for editing.
    
    The R9 290 will shred any game you brianjohnson@example.org. It's a powerful GPU, especially for the price.
    
    If you're going to use Windows and you need a key, you can get it from here for cheap: https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/wts-windows-keys-and-a-few-other-products-paypal-bitcoin/68302?u=deusares
    
    [Edit]
    
    Build has been updated to include a 128GB SSD to serve as a boot drive.

    Bringing this up to speed with a decent graphics card and some storage would be pretty cool. You could build better though. Rocking 2 cpus is badass though.

    I have to say I'm tempted just to buy serverwise...
