The current cpu might be a little weak for high end video editing. The 4790k is great for the video editing, but the 4690k will work, though with notably less multithreaded performance, which most high end professional programs are. The gpu will give you playable 1080p preformance, over 30 fps on all games and up to 60 with some setting turned down. If you want truly hardcore gaming, go with the 970 or 980 for 1080p, or possibly go with the 980 ti, (though super expensive) if you want 144fps on 1080 or great preformance on 1440p and playable on 4k.
