a friend of mine has a friend thats in need of a new gaming pc.he wants me to build him one because i told him that it would get him more bang for his buck if we build one instead of buying a prebuild one.his limite is $1,200 max(could go to $1,300 but thats it) , and it will be used for heavy gaming and video editing/converting.he already has the HDD's(2x1TB),monitor, keyboard/mouse, and CD/DVD player.so we need to get mobo,cpu(cpu cooler),ram,gpu,psu,case,os and possibly a ssd(for the os).i trying to put one together that will work great but if i could get some help/suggesting or a build that yall can put together that would be great. it needs to be from newegg.com.thanks very much in advance.

I am an AMD guy, so thats what the build is, I cant see paying what intel charges for processors :/
