I am looking to spend about $1000 for a video editing and gaming pc. For editing i will be using adobe premiere, photoshop, after affects, and sony vegas pro. For gaming i will be playing BF3, Crisis 3, Bo2, and Farcry 3.
Here is my first option...

I am wondering which build is better or what i can do to make them better. :)

Go for Miskonius build but change the 7950 for a 660ti, If you are using premiere, you want to have CUDA. On games there is no much difference between those cards, you will barely notice.

It's a little over your budget but the price can be lowerd with various parts
7950 now days is like 670gtx (if not better), 7950 OC-ed to 1200MHz can be better than superclocked 680gtx do you really think he wont notice any difference?
