Yeah! All your components are compatible if that is what you're asking.

If you have the cash to spend, and you're not looking to game on this PC, try having a look at some dedicated workstation GPUs. They are much more robust for video editing, and have very stable drivers.

It'll all work... probably, but you've got a Z87 motherboard which sometimes need bios updates to accept that 4690 CPU. I have a few suggestions:

- Go to a H97 motherboard, newer series motherboard and you don't need the "Z" as you have a locked (non overclockable) CPU
- If you're primary use-case is video editing, it's worth considering the Xeon E3-1231 v3 for $255: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117316
It's basically a 4790 without onboard graphics. In other words, it has hyperthreading which does make a substantial difference for video editing. It's only a little more than the 4690 you've chosen.
- Get a better PSU. Get a better quality, lower output PSU. A 550W is more than enough for that build. With an XFX & Seasonic you can't go wrong.
- There's no need to get an aftermarket cooler unless you're overclocking. So you can save yourself some money there.
