I'm looking for a great Gaming and video editing PC Build. I want to know if this build may suit my needs? Programs and games to use:

Battlefield 4 Ultra high
Photo and video editing software
3D animation software

 
Solution
All you need is CPU power for your programs.
You can Overclock the I7-4790k and take so much power.
Also 16GB ram i think is good for material editing in 3D programs.
SSD is good enough too.
For gaming i think you dont need something more than a R9 280x.
But here you have 2 choices.
If you wanna focus more in programs you can take a I7-4930k for +150$ and take more cpu power. Or you can give some money to get better GPU or Crossfire 2 R9 280x.
