Hey guys I want to build my own computer for video editing, mostly using Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects, and Cinema 4D. So far this is my build. Can i please get any tips or opinions on any of the components? I am open to any suggestions. Keep in mind I am a total noob at computer building (components wise) i can build anything, as long as I know what components to buy. I am on a budget!!! No more than $1200 will be spent on this build (excluding shipping, etc.)

CPU cooling: CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm
GPU: EVGA 02G-P4-3657-KR GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card

I also can't decide whether i should get windows 7 or 8 because 7 is better for media, but i dont want to be equipping my expensive computer with an outdated OS.
