Unless someone else sees something I don't, I'd say that's a really nice build. Should do what you want it to do, and quite well.

Looks like you did quite a bit of research before posting. Hats off to you :)

Everything is great but you might want to go up to 16 gigs of RAM because he will be gaming, video editing, and recording. Does he know that he can use shadow play with most nvidia cards? I put in a new mobo and some more RAM. I also managed to make the colors of the RAM line up a little bit more with the mobo. Sorry for the sheer craziness of the RAM.

16gb is overkill even if you were streaming gaming to youtube.
