This build for my friend will be used mainly for gaming, some video editing, any suggestions? The price is about $1250 and we'd like to push down the price as much as possible to maybe $1100 without sacrificing too much performance.

OC'ng? Yes
Why the Zalman? He is going to be moving his case around the house and possibly to some LANs. Neither of us liked the idea of a big metal block hanging over the mobo during transit.
Why the Apevia? He likes the aesthetics
Feedback is very appreciated
