Okay, so to begin I am planning on buying a new computer personally I want it for gaming, however, it may need to be used for schoolwork, Photoshop, and even recording software. I am basically asking for any advice as I know little to none about pc's. I plan on building one through the help of few friends so no comments saying "why are building a pc when you don't know anything about pc's to begin with." Anyways I if anyone could list the parts that I would need to buy (like all parts etc.) or link me to videos that could help me get a better understanding on what I would need to buy (and yes I know about newegg). Please any help would be great. I am also looking to start recording / editing any advice on what programs to use links on how to use them would also be appreciated. Also the prices for the pc parts and recording software would be nice as even though I don't have a budget at the moment an idea on what I will be spending would be nice. Along with pc parts I would also like advice on what keyboard / mouse / headset to use along with there prices. I have a lot of demands and am requesting a lot of help as I would really like to begin recording and building a new pc asap. Also, please try to keep technological terms to a minimal as I am not the most techy kind of person. Thank you so much for any advice / help / links that anyone can supply!

P.S. Also Im not sure about the programs I would need like windows 8 etc. and other basic programs for the pc to function correctly including java, also I would like an explanation on overclocking and whether its worth doing if I am buying a pc as stated above and whether I can buy a really nice gaming pc and have it function and run fast while recording without overclocking it. Thanks once again!
Sorry for being so vague and confusing for anyone viewing this please post any questions you may have so I can clarify. Thanks!

If you give me a rough price to work with I could spec you a system. Also tell me if this was including the price of the software.
