Hi all!

I am planning to build my gaming/photo and video editing computer. I've researched a lot. So far this is my selection:

* Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)
* ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboard
* EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0
* Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
* Crucial MX100 512GB SATA 2.5-Inch Internal Solid State Drive
* Western Digital 3 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache
* EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 750W ATX12V Power Supply

Any thoughts? Feedbacks? I would really appreciate it :)

depending how much video editing you do and if you have the money, i would upgrade to a 5820k or a 5930k. the extra cores, ddr4 ram, and extra ram slots will benefit for rendering and video editing

UPDATE: the 4790K's extra bandwidth is more towards gaming instead of other stuff.

mathard99, thank you for your answer. To be honest the least I will use my computer is for video editing. I love gaming and I am also a professional photographer who ocassionally does video.

I want to be able to run most video games (in regular or ultra settings, it dont really matter).

Also, I want to be able to use several memory consuming programs such photoshop, illustrator, etc. Photography wise, I want a fast computer able to run many different applications efficiently at the same time.
