graphics card: one gtx 970

4790k + GTX970 is a solid base, just add 16GB or RAM (or 32 if your budget allows), a big SSD (very useful for editing videos), big HDD (to store the videos), good Z97 motherboard, good 650W power supply and a big case.

On a side note, consider going for the workstation class platform with 2011 socket, six-core CPU and DDR4 RAM.

This build should run almost every game on max setting 60+fps and it still has lots of room for movies and has great work performance with the cpu.
