Help me build a PC ($1000)

Nosi

I am looking for help or just for someone to build me a pc for $1000. I plan on using my PC for video editing, music production and some gaming. Plus recommendations on cheap gaming monitors (does not go with the $1000 price range for the PC)

For video editing, you'll want a PC with ideally 16GB of RAM, a descent graphics card with 2GB memory minimum (depends on software), and a processor with as many cores as possible. Many plugins eat up CPU power so you are going to need a strong processor. This is a rough sketch but should point you in the right direction Nosi.

This is probably the best general value you could get at that price point when you include the cost of Windows:

Comes out to $1006.91 before taxes. Considering that you're video editing and doing music production, I would not go any lower on the processor and RAM, but if you need to lower the price a bit when including taxes you do have a little wiggle room when it comes to the motherboard and video card. You could jump down to something like an ASRock B450 Pro4 for $89.99 and then jump down to something like a GTX 1650 Super which is between $160-200. You could also change your storage around a bit if you don't need a lot space. Use a smaller SSD for Windows for example or ditch the hard drive for just a single 1TB SSD. 

As for monitors, there's a lot of options, depending on what kind of price range you have. If you play a lot of FPS/competitive type games (think Fortnite, Call of Duty, Overwatch, League of Legends, fighting games), you'll want something 144Hz with 1MS response time, like these:

That Acer has the benefit of also having an IPS panel which can be beneficial for video editing since it should have better color representation/accuracy.
