Hello guys,
I am going to build a PC for gaming and video editing/rendering so I can post videos on Youtube.

Some doubts to clear :
1) I am on a strict budget of US$2000
2) I will be playing fps games like Battlefield 4,Call Of Duty etc.. at 1080p.
3) I want to overclock in the future.
5) I live in Singapore.
6) I am buying 60% of the parts from Amazon and 40% from a retail store.

Here is the rig:
Case: Corsair 400R
PSU: Seasonic M12II 750W 80+ Bronze
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
CPU: Intel Haswell I5-4670k
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS50
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600Mhz
GPU: Gigabyte GTX770 2GB
Wifi Card: TP-Link WDN4800 450mb/s
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Monitor: Asus 23" VX238H
Mouse: Razer Deathadder 2013
Mouse Pad: Steelseries QcK Mousepad
Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70
Headset: Steelseries Siberia V2 Frost Blue
Total: US$1952.88

Tell me if its good or bad and anything I could do to save money would be great ... but to save money I don't want it to decrease the computer performance.
Thanks in advance to all those who comment.

As 4eyed said, I would HIGHLY recommend getting a high capacity HDD as storage along side your SSD, something atleast 1TB+ , games will take up space over time and any other things you plan to use on your computer. & I also agree with what he said with shelling out a couple of extra bucks for a better mobo with replacing the 4770k OR getting a GTX 780.

If you're going to use the PC for gaming mostly, you don't really need an i7. Getting the i5 4670k will save you around 100$ and perform in games just as good as the i7. Those 100$ could be used to get a better motherboard (Asus Z87-A, Gigabyte Z87X-D3H or Asrock Z87 Extreme3/4) which supports SLI if you ever plan on doing it. Also, you could get another (better) case like the Define R4 or NZXT Phantom 410, but that's just personal preference. You should also get an HDD, at least a 1tb one (WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda), as 250gb isn't really much.

Well, I really don't know why your PC has become so expensive.

I got this rig at:
GPU: inno3D GTX 770 3x Ichill Herculez ( The fastest amongst all 770s)
CPU: Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3 @3.3 Ghz 8MB L3 Cache
motherboard: Asus H87-Pro4 (i know it's not that good)
RAM: Kingston HyperX blue 8 GB
PSU: 600W Chinese Brand, but super quality
Casing: Chinese Brand but super cool, lol
SSD: 128 GB ADATA

No extra things. I got it all for 900 USD. I know I don't have your extra part, but these are the most expensive ones, and they are only 45% of what you've got there. Perhaps you could change your I7 4770K with a Xeon E3 1230V3 and save some bucks. I really like you to go for a GTX 780, even though I am extremely happy with my GTX 770, but undoubtedly it's much better. I am an Afghan living in China. I cannot use pcpicker or amazon.com , but as long as you are also in Singapore (我们是兄弟) , lol, I suggest getting an Inno3D version of 770 or 780.

good luck bro!

Alright, I'm getting I5-4670k and Gigabyte Z87X-D3H and save the $100 to get a 1TB HDD.

I think if you get the 780, if you can, it will be much better for you. Because that is the most expensive part of your computer. So I suggest, if you are deducting any parts of your RIG, just get 780! only a suggestion!

If I get a GTX780, its over my budget and I think the GTX770 is enough for this rig.
