Hey all, I'm looking to get a new Desktop (Right now I have a laptop), but I want to know if this will be able to play games on Medium to High (Like GTA V and IV (IV with ENB?), and be able to Encode/Edit Videos at good rates, and not slow down! Can you guys let me know what I should change and keep? I also want to know if it is good for the price? Thanks!

Lemme guess, you are buying a pre built computer? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE don't do that. For 1600 bucks, you can buy your own parts and build your own PC that perform MUCH MUCH better. Those specs might get you high with 50-60FPS as that GPU is weak at that price point. If you are willing to put in the effort and learn how to assemble a PC, I can teach you how to start and step by step info if you want. Don't worry, it isn't hard to do, just need to learn it. 

Also to put in a real life example between buying that and building your own.

Your pre-built=GTA V @high with 50-60ish FPS. 

Building yourself=GTA V Maxed out with an easy 60+ FPS.

Price=Same and also building it yourself makes it look a lot nice and clean :)

tthere's a very easy way to get parts at the cheapest prices. Already have a list for you if you are interested.

Can I see it please? EDIT: I would like to support dual monitors, and maybe even triple later in the time, FYI.

Sorry, was out all day. This computer build will handle literally everything you throw at it. Rendering and gaming, heck both at the same time xD

Shows all the prices and where to buy at the cheapest website. If you have a microcenter nearby, they always have great deals on parts too. But 1400 bucks for everything you need on the computer and $200 for stuff like mouse/keyboards and etc. I can always make it cheaper by changing around parts but yeah, this will power 2x 1080P screens no problem and games maxed with 60FPS. Also in the future, if you wanna go higher res or more screens, the board is 3 way SLI capable so throw in another Graphics card and it'll be perfect :)

Ok, any ideas on how to explain to my dad, building my own computer would be okay? LOL just wondering.

Tell him it'll be cheaper, better performing and you get to learn a lot in the process. There are more pros than cons in building your own rig :)
