So I put together two builds on pcpartpicker but am not exactly sure any more if I chose the right parts for me. I am mainly worried about the cpu, the gpu, and cooling. I already have windows and a disk drive so I dont need that and I also have a keyboard an mouse. The only thing I really need besides the build itself is a good monitor for gaming (needs to be 1080p widescreen). I am not sure on which proccessor to get though. I will use it for video editing and gaming and recording games. As long as my cpu can compress a 20gb video in under 20 minutes with xvid and not get bottlenecked by my cpu for 2-3 years im good. Also I dont know if my psu, gpu, and ram is the best I can get for my monney. Lastly I dont know if I should buy a few fans. I really do need to save money here so it would be prefferable if you can get it under $1100 us. Here is my current build so tell me what cpu to get, either the 4670k, 4670, 4770k, or 4770. I wont overclock unless its not meeting my standards btw. Also should I get a different mobo if I wont have to overclock. Here is what I have so far.

if you're going to run your card in dual SLI/CF, grab a 750W Bronze PSU & the cheapest Z87 board that supports SLI/CF.
feel free to upgrade it to a 280X or 770.

Also kind of trying to make it easier to upgrade plus they really are not a ridiculous amount cheaper

Anything else I can do to make it cheaper besides getting a cheaper case and psu (which I probably will)
