Build 2:

Build 3:

Which one would you personally get?
I do prefer playing with good FPS 70+ and minimum 60FPS in most games.
I do often editing with my videos HD
I want great overclocking

So, which one would you get?

Feel free to change a build for me you think is best, but make sure that you include a good HD monitor, the same headset, and the same keyboard. My limit is 1500$

Thanks

Build 1, as it has a much superior CPU for rendering.

What about Build 1 but with i5 4670K and GTX 780. That should satisfy all your criteria. Hyperthreading and more L3 cache are probably not necessary in your case so dump more cash into GPU in my opinion.

I'd either go with build 3, except add a 780 instead of 760 SLI. Here's what I recommend. A 4670k will handle video editing fine as you don't render anything, rather editing. The SSD will allow the videos to load faster and make editing quicker, along with load times all around. the hyper 212 is a good cooler, but at the end of the day it is a $30 cooler. if you want to do any serious OC then you something more. If you just want a modest one then stick with the CM.
