what do you think of my 1200-1500 dollar build?

Solution
aerocool and corsair ain't known for good looks but rather for good air flow, material and durability.
go for msi snow white case then. looks horrible but good statwise.

This is for recording gameplay, rendering gamplay, rendering other videos, video editing, special effects, and playing games on mid to high settings while my videos are rendering in the background. (playing bf4 at max right now and playing future games at mid to very high settings). Do you guys like this build better then? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2EUBJ

I would highly recommend a 700w+ psu for i7 4770k + gtx 780
why get i7 860s really old cpu?? O_O
the case is good
zalman z11 plus is awesome too
aercool vs-92 white window
aerocool x1 white black
aerocool x3 white gs max as well
corsair 200r / 400r
btw z87 fatality is an upgraded version of extreme 4 actually (they added killer lan and audio boost as extra (same as msi z87 g45 owns))

Half X is a bit out of my price range. (seeing as it's 200 dollars). Do you recommend any other cooler masters for less?

p.s. not looking for how cool it looks. Just for one that works. Plus i don't want someone thinking that my computer is really good because i'm going to a dorm soon and i have paranoid thoughts of my roomate doing shit to my computer while i'm not there. If there's a really good cheap case that looks bland. I'll take it.
