Hello! Yes, so over the last while I've had to decide on what parts to get for my new computer. I'll be using this to do basic things like watching videos and surfing the web, along with playing games occasionally (when I do, I'd like them to look good) and editing HD videos. I may have to cut a few corners due to the price of this all but yeah, this is what I got so far.

In the future I plan on getting 8gb more ram and an SSD drive.
Also, might change the motherboard, how is this one compared to the Asus above? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130695
 
Solution
You need a Z87 motherboard to overclock your 4770K . It wont OC on the B85 board .
If you are gaming get a 4670K instead and use the money you save to get a better motherboard
Video editing might be a little slower , but not much . Hyperthreading is only really useful in encoding

The TX3 cooler is small and pretty hopeless . Dont waste your money

Yeah I decided to go with a different motherboard. And I'll look for a different cooler then.
