Q. First off I'd like to say everyone who 'nerds out' these questions while saying "You need to spend £1200" to get a gaming pc can go away since I know that is not true. Sorry for the rough start.
What will I use my PC for? Editing videos using sony vegas, dreamweaver, fireworks and photoshop. I will be using it for programming as well and most importantly gaming (Counter strike, Warrock, Call of duty, Starcraft, Civilisation, mincecraft, battlefield, homefront, rift and probably a few more).

A. Realistically? Yeah pretty good and it can play all the games to a certain standard it'll probably perform well, if you can build your own pc with the same budget you can kill that one <.< 3x over LOL that being said you'd probably have to pirate windows 7 to cut costs but since that comes with the OS yeah it seems decent enough.
Good gaming computer build?
Q. This is the build from cyberpower pc. any recommendations? First gaming computer. also it will be around $1780. if you want the link to look at it yourself just ask. my budget is to stay within $1800

A. 1. Cyberpower is not known for their good building reviews
2. I'd suggest ibuypower, but the best is building it yourself. You can get a better build for less. My machine is less than that somewhat and it has a Core i7 2600K + 8 GB DDR3 1600mhz RAM + Nvidia 570 GTX GPU
3. Caleb is totally wrong about the i7s. Nothing out there beats them at anything now
I'd wait a few weeks then order these parts as replacements
Core i5 2500K CPU @ 3.4 ghz (easily overclockable to 4.5 ghz on air) @ $225 or less at Micro Center
Nvidia 570 GTX or ATI 6970 Radeon video card @ $325-350
8 GB GSkill Ripjaws X 1600 mhz RAM @ $100
ASUS P67 Motherboard @ $150-200
Corsair 700 watt PSU
