It is over my $1000 budget. I'm not sure which component to downgrade. I want to do gaming and intensive work like editing. I also want it to be future proof to an extent which is why I did 750 watt so i can sli and add ram in the future.

What do you think?

First that power supply was a mistake rather low quality.
i5 saves 100 bucks, 140 dollar range motherboard saves another 60, more of the proper memory 1.5 Volt not 1.65 for a Intel processor will save a couple, other than that your looking at a lower priced video card.

Use the CX750 you've bought and when you decide to SLI,get a higher quality 850W PSU,like the XFX COre 850W,EVGA G2 850W,Antec HCG 850M,Rosewill Capstone 850M and others.
