I am building a PC, these are roughly the parts I am selecting. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2kRyqs

I don't know whether I should change out my CPU though, I am going to be using the intel based PC for heavy gaming/video editing.
Should I get a Intel Core i7-4770, Intel Core i7-4771, Intel Core i7-4790??
I don't really understand the whole concept of "overclocking" my system so I am going to stick to locked CPU's at the moment. If anyone could give me an answer it would be much appreciated! :D

Why not get the 4770k and just run it like a locked processor, and then in a year or two if you want to look in to getting a little more speed out of it you can look up how to overclock (which quite literally is changing a number from 35 to 40 and voila, you have 500 extra mhz.). It's only a few dolalrs more for a huge amount of flexibility.
