Cheaper for same performance (mainly talking games on one monitor @ 1080p, I'm not sure about video editing. A cheaper PC would do it, but if you're editing a 50GB HD movie and DTS sound, more grunt maybe required)

CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor - I5-xxxxK CPU
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 CPU Cooler - Cooler master EVO
Motherboard: Asus X79 DELUXE ATX LGA2011 Motherboard - Z77/87 Extreme 3
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory - 2x 4GB
Storage: A-Data XPG SX900 512GB 2.5" Solid State Disk - 128GB SSD for o/s and main apps, 1TB HDD for games
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card - awesome, but GTX 780...

Beautiful!! You will love it I am sure.

Just one question to confirm. You have an incredible sound system that requires a dedicated sound card? Most people are satisfied with the onboard sound of a motherboard. Unless you have dropped some big money on speakers and need a dedicated sound card, you can drop the Xonar and save some money.

Save some money. Pffft. That's not what this build is about, what am I saying. Keep the Xonar!

the specs are good and it will perform well for your intended purpose. Are you after something better or something cheaper. 'Stuff you don't need' is kind of subjective as you could pretty much change any item, but it will have some performance penalty/improvement for your intended purpose. No item is pointless, but not absolutely necessary either.
