Hey I am wondering if you guys could think of any changes for my new build for Photoshoping and video editing. I will be gaming on this as well. My monitor will be 4K just to let you all know. This is my first time above 1080p so if things look to be way under powered, that's why. I am switching from a Mac because my boyfriend convinced me to, so I am fairly new to picking out PC parts. If something isn't compatible let me know.

CPU: I7 4770k

CPU Cooler: Well its a custom loop but it has a 240mm Radiator.

GPU: Nvidia 780ti (maybe SLI if I have to)

PSU: Corsair AX 860i

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB

Motherboard:: I need your help

Case: Still deciding. Looking at Fractal Design Define R4

HDD: 2TB WD black (x2)

SSD: 500GB Samsung 840 Pro

OS: Windows 8.1

if you ask me custom loop cooling to cool only the CPU is literally the stupid thing you can do. Custom loop is done for hardcore enthusiasts who got money I mean alot and they generally do it to overclock their rig to unprecedented clocks which I belive you don't have a use for not to mention the amount of trial and error it takes to get this all working. weeks of benchmarking etc.

IF you ask me tell your boyfriend it'd be better you get a closed water loop, something like a h100i just change the fans for something like noctua 120mm or Cougar 120mm fans

P.S
That RAM is overkill you'll probably only need 16GB and I don't think you'll need to sli anytime soon seeing as the 780ti is the most powerful single GPU at 1080p so you could...

I'll be pretty surprised if the profile picture is actually you, anyway that build looks excellent, should meet your needs hands down but if your gonna spend so much money on those components then get a more high end case, something that can handle more fans.

MY suggestion is the NZXT Phantom Series(preferably the full tower cases) or the Corsair 600T(my favorite a bit iffy on pull/push water loops though)

Cool. And yeah, I don't know much about the parts hahaha. My boyfriend is the guy who is going to be doing the custom loop cooling for me. He basically is the one building it too lol. I just wanted some guarantee for some of the parts before a new person like me buys them.

Do you know of a motherboard that would work?Once again I know nothing about them besides that the CPU has to be compatible haha. Thank God I have someone to tell what parts I need in the first place.
