One thing i would like to know is Do i need a better or more watts PSU or will this 1000 Watts be enuff to power all the components ( with the 2-3 GPU's You Suggest ). + OCing the CPU?
Might even OC Ram n GPU's not 100% on it.

a great video card to use
EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...
$209
this card has never let me down. and is a great buy (you can run watchdogs at mid-high no problem but maybe get a 6 core CPU
next gen consols can handle 8 core, so games publishers are starting to make games 8 core so at least get 6 plus. i have six)

Hope i helped.

depending in how much. video and audio work your brother does i wouldnt downgrade the memory as someone suggested. 8 gig is great for gaming and what not, but you will need more for post processing and rendering etc....

If you have the money, keep the 16 Gb of RAM, and regarding GPU`s, depending on your budget go for these (from strong to stronger): R9 290 -> GTX 780 -> R9 290x -> GTX 780ti -> R9 295x

But the biggest issue here is this: WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT WINDOWS???
Go for Windows 7, or 8, or 8.1, whichever you like, but 64 bits, not 32.

Other than that, it will be a beast PC! Have fun with it!
