I started building my new PC, ive got a case, accesories, windows and z97 motherboard.
I want to get:
1. CPU - i7 4790k
2. GPU - 780ti-780-290x?
3. PSU - Evga, xfx, Seasonic?
4. RAM - 2x4 2133?
5. Cooling
6. Bluray Optical Drive
7. HDD - WD Caviar blue 1tb
8.SSD - samsung 840 120gb
What do you think? Any changes?

oh if your editing/recording than i7 is good. psu is good quality and overall a good option. id get the 780ti if you dont mind spending $177 more for 20% performance boost over 780 (as a reference)

CPU- For gaming i think the i7-4790k is overkill. You could save $100+ by going with an i5-4xxx K option
GPU - Prob best bang for buck out of the three would be the 780 or 290x
PSU - I would recommend xfx or seasonic
RAM - I would recommend G.skill ram 2x4 2133
Cooling - Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler is good
Optical Drive - I think bluray optical drives are not worth the cost. In all honesty there is a slight to no difference in video quality between a DVD and bluray version of the same movie so you can save some money with a non bluray drive
HDD - Good choice
SSD - Good choice

Except gaming i want to do a bit of editing, recording thats why i7. I play very few games at the moment but i hope to try new Fallout, Division in the future on max settings, thats why im thinking about 780ti. Is xfx xtr 650W gold fully modular a good option?
