Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1tZ0n
If you go to the notes at the bottom it mentions two things. I don't know what it means and I don't want to have any problems with my computer because this is my first time building one.
Is there an actual problem or will everything work?

There are no compatibility issues with your system, however the case you chose is a little outdated nowadays.

What the error is stating is that the front panel usb ports on the case you want don't have usb 3.0 or "superspeed" usb compatibility. They are the current standard of usb 2.0. The benefit of usb 3.0 is the transfer rate (of data) is claimed to be about 10 times as fast when compared to usb 2.0. Real world results may vary. With that being said, there won't be an issue because you can just plug the front usb ports of the case that you selected into a usb 2.0, rather than a 3.0 header on the motherboard and all is well. If you wanted to use the usb 3.0 header, you could opt to buy this http://www.cmstore-usa.com/haf-912-usb-3-0-5-25-bracket.... I have this case btw, I love it. I haven't purchased that bracket because I haven't found the need to yet. But it gives peace of mind to know that it exists. Hope i helped you out. Happy building

1. Get an SSD, huge noticeable performance increase over HDD. Especially gaming. Go Samsung as it is most reliable.
2. If you want a CLC, don't get anything below h100i otherwise just go high-end air like the Noctua DH14, or custom loop for better cooling.
3. Save your money and get DDR3 at 1600mhz. Anything above will cost more and it's performance increase isn't noticeable in reality.
4. Save some more money plus get 3 free games getting this GPU and OC it to get the 7970's performance: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/101080/newegg-sapphire-...
5. Find a Seasonic PSU or one manufactured by them. More reliable
6. At that price, go with an Intel CPU and a different mobo for better performance.
7. Happy Building and Gaming

If gaming and video editing are your two main uses, then this is pretty much the highest end you can go, it leaves enough room for a possible second 7970 in the future, and you can still OC:

You dont really NEED extra case fans for that case, but if you want to have fantastic airflow, then i reccommend two of these 120mm fans in the front of the case:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/arctic-cooling-case-fan-af...
If you can wait, then wait but I don't see the new series being great value for money on the launch day, maybe after a month or so after its release, when prices drop a bit, however i cant say much about it since they aren't released and who knows when they release them and when they announce them.
In the computer industry if you wait around then yes new things come out, but that doesnt mean that the things that were released when you bought your PC become bad or bad value for money.

Amazon will have cheaper parts so search these:
$130 Corsair Vengeance 16GB
$130 Samsung Electronics 840 Pro
$230 Intel Core i5-4670K
$130 Gigabyte Z87 LGA 1150
$75 Noctua DH14
$110 XFX PRO850W Core Edition
$180 Sapphire Radeon 7950 with 3 free games: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/101080/newegg-sapphire-...
$8 ARCTIC MX-4
$30 for any dvd drive you want
$90 for OS
Case: You can pick your own. Post the case you pick and I'll let you know if it's compatible with the cooler and mobo.
This sample build should fit your budget and is better than the build you had. And unless you are overclocking, I don't think you need a cooler IMO.
Also, you can always get another 7950 in the future to Xfire for better performance.

No problem dude, enjoy your build, but remember read up on how to build and take time when building, you mentioned earlier that you don't have alot of experience with building, so be sure to take plenty of time and do everything properly.

HT from an i7 might be useful when video editing thats the only reason i chose the i7 over the i5
I didn't choose the i7 because I couldn't get a build below 1200
I had to go with AMD instead because of the 8 cores, I just heard so many bad things about it that I was really second guessing myself. You saved me from a mistake I think.

An SSD is used for fast windows boot times and fast application loading times, it doesnt really help with gaming or video editing performance, from your technical level also i wouldn't reccommend an SSD boot drive.
Heres an example of an SSD:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-driv...
If you can afford it and really think you need faster boot times and loading times (but no real performance increase) then buy them, but they are still an expensive luxury.

If I got that would it be an addon to my build or would I replace something for that?
