Need Help Building a Gaming PC ($1000ish budget)

So I’ve been looking to build a new computer for the longest time now, and have finally found a good chance to do so. I’m basically looking to drop somewhere around $1,000 on it. (Keep in mind the only part I have before hand, is a mouse, no keyboard, no monitor, etc.)

Now I’m building this computer for the purpose of gaming, as well as video editing/recording. I would also like to be able to stream myself, in good quality, while playing new, high end games.

The other question I would like to ask, is if, for the price range I’m looking at, $800ish-$1200ish, would I be better off buying a pre-built gaming PC from a company? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, I plan on ordering everything towards the end of the week.
