Tired of searching 2-3y/o builds. Would you kindly help me build my computer?

Approximate Purchase Date: Immediately

Budget Range: $1000 After Rebates; After Shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Video Editing > Adobe Premiere Pro > Internet > Media Streaming

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, Tiger Direct, Ebay, China

Location: Boise, Idaho

Parts Preferences: Intel CPU (must!), Name brand Memory (must!),

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No / Maybe?

Your Monitor Resolution: Highest, 1080p usually. 1920 x 1080 native on the screen I have.

Additional Comments: Don't care about a case, if you factor one in that is fine too. SSD for OS and applications. 2.5 hard drive for storage, 1TB for now is fine, planning on adding more hard drives later when monies allow. The video editing is NOT my day job, more of a hobby I want to explore.

Why Are You Upgrading: Need a computer, roommate has crap computer loaded with LoL and associated programs.

Amazing looking build. Already noticed a GPU boost from the video card when I use After Effects. Question about the heat: will the stock two 120mm fans provided with the case create enough flow to prevent the case from heating up?

Yes two preinstalled 120mm fans will be enough to make good airflow and please avoid reference GTX-760 cards!
I also have case with two preinstalled fans, it runs quiet and cool!
