Hello, I've been using a Dell Inspiron 1545 for a number of years now so as you can imagine I'm pretty limited to platform gaming. So anyway I'm of to uni in a few weeks and have decided to upgrade and build myself a proper gaming pc, out with the old and in with the new style. But here's the problem, my knowledge of computer hardware is pretty limited to knowing that the more GHz the better and get as many gigabytes of RAM and graphics as humanly possible. So I need all the advice I can get and would massively appreciate any help you give me.
I hope to be using this computer for gaming a LOT but I might also be doing some light video editing (that depends on whether my friend starts her vlog). I have a budget of around $1500 AUD but would be pretty chuffed if it was cheaper. I will probably over clock it so could recommend to me by how much I should over clock it. I haven't decided on any parts, I thought I had but I decided to let the good people of computer forum make that decision for me. If possible I would like it to be somewhat portable, but not necessary. Most importantly I hope this computer will allow me to play high end games for a good few years to come.
So basically I need you to design me a whole computer from scratch, I hope this isn't too much in a challenge (unless you thrive in a challenge).
Or if you can find a relatively cheap pre built computer I would definitely be glad to be rid of the daunting task of building the computer.
Thank you so much in advance.

The UP5H is a great board, but it's overkill. The money you save can be much better spent on the graphics card instead (read on).
