I'll be editing in Premiere Pro CC exclusively, but also doing lots of Photoshop, Lightroom and After Effects with this computer. My main concern is the graphics card I chose, but how big of a deal is that component for an editing PC? From what I could tell from Adobe's website, the main things that the graphics card works on in Premiere is the warp stabilizer & color correction (both things that are actually pretty important to me.)
Essentially, I'm wondering if I really need to get an Adobe certified GPU such as the NVIDIA Quadro series. (And if there are any other blatant problems).
Here is the build that I put together on PC part picker: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1kXjz

- Took out the unlocked CPU since you can't pair it with your chosen motherboard as you forfeit access to the multiplier
- Stronger video card
- Much higher quality PSU

That wifi card sucks dont go low on wifi , get at least AC card , like the Asus
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
true it is 94$ BUT it has strong signal and covers long distance and is better speed when there are obstacles ...
it is not only about specs.
and all new wifi are AC/a/b/g/n today from Tablets to phones ... dont get cheap wifi every you will feel the difference.
get a better motherboard , the gigabyte sniper M5 is a very good motherboard with good onboard sound.

I would like to add an SSD as a boot drive, and I suppose I could exceed my budget a little bit. Is it really necessary for me to get an aftermarket CPU cooler if I'm not overclocking my machine?
Edit: I think I'll stick with the i7, pretty much everything I've read points to the processor being more important in most video editing scenarios

you wont need a cooler if you are overclocking. but I like adding better 29$ cooler anyways ... better temps are allways welcomed.
dont go above $29 cooler ...
as for SSD , pick the Samsung 840 pro 128G or 256G models ,,, and be sure it is the PRO

get a better motherboard , the gigabyte sniper M5 is a very good motherboard with good onboard sound.
Alright, I'll take a look at my wifi options and do a bit more research there, I didn't really consider the importance of wifi cards. The motherboard was another area that I overlooked a little in this build, I'll put together a new list.

for video editing i7 is better. this is not a gaming machine.
I would like to add an SSD as a boot drive, and I suppose I could exceed my budget a little bit. Is it really necessary for me to get an aftermarket CPU cooler if I'm not overclocking my machine?
you wont need a cooler if you are overclocking. but I like adding better 29$ cooler anyways ... better temps are allways welcomed.
dont go above $29 cooler ...
as for SSD , pick the Samsung 840 pro 128G or 256G models ,,, and be sure it is the PRO
tell me your build now
Here's my updated build at the moment, I think I'll stick with the crappy wifi adapter since I probably won't have an AC router for a while anyway.

why are you choosing H87 mobo when you can have a Z87 for the same price ?
Also , do you prefer a smaller compact case ? using mATX motherboard ?
also get this power supply it is better
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pg065...
and this memory is cheaper and same

The mid case will be fine, I'd like some space for future additions. And if I am going to buy a CPU cooler I might as well just get the 4770k and overclock it, which means I'd need a Z87 as well. Is it really the same price for a Z87 motherboard? (compared to an h87)
Do you have a motherboard you'd recommend?

If you're not overclocking then you don't need to pay money for a Z87, and you can use the difference elsewhere in your build.
they are the same price actually in the lower level Z87 mobos , 10$ difference ...
