I'm looking to build a newer computer to handle more tasks in terms of video editing and storage for my files. I'm really looking forward for this computer to last for at least 5 or 10 years. Tell me what you think and if their any parts that I can get cheaper. I haven't built a computer for while, so just making sure that I'm doing this right. Basically the HDD is for storage for all my raw files, the ssd are for cache and programs.
I plan to use the machine to edit raw video files using programs such as the adobe creative suite and 3d programs like max and mudbox. I also plan to game as well, and as you can see with the recorder.. well record them as well ranging from old school, to next gen games.
So my question is, would I rather go for a xeon processor and go for a different space configuration?


As you can see, I have multiple HDD's, one for cache, programs, and backup for footage and projects.

If you want this to last, here's a 6 core 12 thread CPU option that will overclock very will with the Noctua cooler.

The NZXT H440 is a great, quiet case, I love mine :)

The Crucial MX100 will actually be faster than the Samsung 840 Pro at 128GB. For some reason, the 128GB version has severely cut speeds.
