Hi guys,
So I wanted to build something like the Blackbird's top voted under $750 build found here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2865148/build-poll-750.html
The problem is that I live in Thailand and not all the parts are easily available here. I'm mainly going by what I can find from here: http://www.invadeit.co.th/
Here's the build that I came up with.

Would appreciate any tips on how to optimize it; either in terms of price or performance.
Further details:
- This is my first build, so I have to buy everything (monitor, keyboard, OS, etc.)
- I need a Wifi connection because the router is at the other side of the room from where I'm going to place the PC
- Purpose will mainly be gaming but also decent about of Photoshop and video editing
- Monitor resolution will either be 1920 x 1080 or 2560 x 1440 (most likely 1080p to keep the costs somewhat manageable)
- I think this is probably a bit of an overkill for 1080p gaming, but I would like to keep the option open for VR gaming as well as making sure I don't have to update it in a few years
- I'm not planning to OC CPU, GPU possibly
- No plans to CrossFire anytime soon
I'm not terribly budget conscious, but if I can find a way to save some money, all the better.
Thanks for your help in advance!
