I'm looking for a PC that can run all games at good setting and hopefully at least 30 fps. I also need it to be decent for video editing. I could put the budget up a bit more but i would rather not as this'll really put a dent in my wallet.

This will have no problems with your needs and alot cheaper. I took out the hdmi cable since your monitor should come provided with the dvi cable which has just about the same high quality as the hdmi. hdmi just has the extra audio but since you will be having dedicated speakers and not through the monitor, you wont really need the hdmi cable.

Edit: took out the bigfoot, not worth the extra splash for its performence.

Teaz' spec is solid except the Bigfoot card, drop it it is not worth the money.
Registry tweaks do just as well if not better, and best of all there free!

Thanks for the extra clarification, thought frapsing could do with the bigfoot but also thought it could do just as well without it.

Sandy Bridge is the codename for the i3/5/7 2xxx series cpu which is the build spec i have came up for you. The build you have come up with is the 3rd gen i7 9xx series cpu codename Bloomfield. The Sandy bridge cpu are newer than the Bloomfield cpu apart from the i7 990X.

The spec is better in terms of balance but the i7 2600 cpu is not as good as the 990X but its performence is near matching for a much cheaper price compared to the 990X.
