Hey there, i'm in the market for a new desktop as my laptop is not equipped for use in editing 1080p video in Premiere Pro and After Effects as well as playing titles such as BF4 on high to ultra settings if possible. My budget is $1100AUD and i cant really stretch much further on that as it doesn't include an OS or shipping. My monitor is 27" 1920 x 1080p. My first thoughts have been to use an intel i5-4670K and overclock it.

Not to sure where i should be putting my money, i.e should i have 16gb ram instead of just 8 and save money somewhere else? Also im not to sure if the PSU is overkill and a cheaper one would suffice. Is the GPU good enough?
If i overclock it to say 4GHz would the cpu cooler be enough, or would it be worth it if i OC'ed further and cooled it better?
Im also not in anyway opposed to an AMD build either if its going to work for me better.
Sorry for all the questions but any advice is appreciated as its my first build.
