My budget is around $1000
and by 1000 i mean on the whole pc.

OK, with a $1000 budget I'd suggest the Core i7 2400 and a GTX 560. Or upgrade to the Core i7 2600 if movie editing is more important than anything else.
Here's a great guide with different builds indicated by color code.

Take the Tier 4 (green) build, eliminate the SSD. That leaves enough money to upgrade to the Core i7 2600. Or you could stick with the Core i5 2400 and get a second 1TB hard drive for storing videos.

What's your budget for the whole system, roughly?
Video editing relies primarily on the CPU, having a high-end graphics card doesn't really matter for that. You'll want one of Intel's 2nd generation Sandy Bridge processors along with a Z68 motherboard in order to use Quick Sync. You'll want between 8-16 GB of RAM, and it's best to have two hard drives. Video editing goes smoother when your source and destination folders are on different physical drives.
For gaming you'll want at least a midrange graphics card, a GeForce GTX 460/Radeon HD 6850 or better. Note that the GTX 550 Ti is a lower performance card than the GTX 460, not higher.
I recommend a Core i7 2600 for video editing (or Core i5 2400 if the i7 doesn't fit your budget) along with a GTX 560. That combination can run all games on high settings and most titles maxed. If you wanted an even more powerful graphics card to play games like Battlefield 3 on ultra settings, the Radeon HD 7850 and GeForce GTX 570 are recommended. If you want a really high-end card, the GeForce GTX 680. Of course those models are much more expensive.
There's no point paying extra for the "K" processors since you won't be overclocking (it's not something to attempt if you're not already very familiar with how it works).
Also, the Core i5 2550K lacks the integrated GPU which is required for Quick Sync, so avoid that one- go with the Core i5 2500, 2400 or 2320, or the Core i7 2600 if that's not too expensive.

Trying to build a gaming computer but I have no idea where to start?
My goal for 2013 was to build a amazing gaming rig, (I was going to do this in 2012 but couldn't come up with the money)
My Rig I'm, wanting to build is a triple monitor setup (For Eye-Infinity)
I'm wanting to play future games such as battlefield 4, and games now like Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3.
I'm wanting to be able to play these games at ultra settings, that way I never have to worry about lag (Like on consoles which are at low settings). I'm wanting to know what graphics card I would need what kind of CPU I would need ect. And The TOTAL Price, The most I'm wanting to spend is $2000 at the max, I don't want to spend more than that I don't mind but The most I am willing to go to is $2750. I have some parts picked out right now which I have linked below but would like to know what else I will need to have a powerful gaming pc,
(please do try to make it a lower budget (lower the budget, the more games I can get for the PC :P)

Hello, No need for $2750, $2000 is more than enough.
Case : Poor pick, Get cooler master scout2 case, can add 6 120 mm fans, 2 front usb 3 ports, 2 front usb 2 ports.
Monitor : Nice pick.
Optical Drive : Holy shit! xD Amazing one :D do not get it unless if you REALLY need blue ray optical drive.
HDD : Nice pick. even though WD is better than segate.
OS : Good choice! be away from Windows 8 if you want gaming pc.
Take this build, will max anything out there, futureproof for at least 3 years.
