Not the greatest with computers and parts but is this a overkill or under kill for video Editing? adobe premiere, adobe after effects will be used for Editing. This is what i have lined up for this computer:

Intel core 17-4790k 4.0GHZ
Asus H97-pro atx LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeneance Pro 16GB DDR3-2133 Memory
Samsung 840 Pro series 128GB 2.5 SSD
Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Gigabyte GTX 650 1GB Video Card
Cooler Master Force 500 AATX mid tower case
Corsair CX 600W 80+bronze Semi-Modular ATX power supply

Thank you for taking you time to help.

You have the most important parts covered well. The CPU and enough memory. The third most important component would be the HD, which you seem to have covered too. You will need something large enough to hold the massive amount of files and data that you will be using. And you're right in that since you are not gaming, a GTX 650 will do OK for you.

I would think you might want a better video card. But Video editing is not my forte. Cpu cooling is more to my expertise.
With a 4.0 Ghz cpu a stock cooler would not be wise. What were you planning to use to cool your cpu?

Yes i probably would use stock fan. What fan would you say i should get i don't think the CPU would get overclocked. Also this computer will not be used for gaming so that's why i picked a GTX 650.

If you are not going to OC the CPU at all, the stock cooler will work fine for you. The stock coolers and cooling in general have been improved with the new devil's canyon CPUs. The new CPUs are designed better and run cooler.
