I've never built my own computer before, but after asking around a bit I finally have a full build ready. All I need now is for people more experienced than I to tell me that the build is solid and give me the go-ahead.
I'm building this PC mostly for gaming, but I'd like for it to be able to handle other CPU intensive tasks like video editing and rendering as well.

What do you guys think? Will this make a powerful gaming PC? Do all these parts work together? I want to be able to OC as much as I like, do I need a stronger power supply? Is there anything I've forgotten?
Thanks so much in advance for reading through it all! I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say.
