Hello everyone ! First of al I want you to excuse me If there is something wrong with ma thread because I signed up to this awesome site today.

I really want to get myself a new configuration but I need professional opinion.

budget : 1000-1200$

The PC will be used for video editing via sony vegas pro 13 and playing CS : GO and GTA V only mainly CS : GO I play at 4:3 (1024x768) but I want stable 250-300 fps (

The components I have chosen are

1. CPU - Intel core i5-6600K 3.5GHz 6MB LGA1151 BOX

2.Motherboard - ASUS B150M PRO GAMING LGA1151

3.RAM - G.SKILL DDR4 2x8 2133 AEGIS F4-2133C15D-16GIS

4.GPU - MSI GTX 960 GAMING 2G

5.CASE - IN WIN MANA136 SEEC ATX Mid Tower

6.Power Supply - PSU FORTRON HYPER 600 600W

7.HDD - I got one from my old PC and I am okay with it

8.DVD/CD writer - same here, will use the one I have from my old PC

Do you guys think this is okay or i should have something changed ?

Yo ! thank you so much for the reply but I don't really need OS since my university provided me with a free copy of win10.
Do I really need that powerful power supply and can I get 6600k + 16 gigs of ram instead of that ssd ?

Sounds pretty fine 2 me but sir, please add a case that is good enough for all these components.
One last question, is it possible to get my cpu overclocked to at least 4.2 maybe 4.4 ghz and have no issues with the temperature or I need a better cpu cooler or something ..

Slightly overbudget, the one thing I'd cut is the Samsung 950 Pro SSD and replace it with a regular 2.5" SSD. However the 950 Pro would give you amazing responsiveness and load times even compared to a regular SSD, so whether or not you want to cut it out is up to you.

added even a 1tb hdd to the 950 pro. In all honesty would it imo even be possible to do crossfire with this psu.

Hah,didn't check the gpu,

the cooler i chose willl keep the cpu cool and probably give a little overclocking room,but for max overclocking should you get a better cooler,something like this,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/deepcool-cpu-cooler-assassinii
or
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-cpu-cooler-td02lite
with a big two tower cpu cooler like this one would you want to use low profile ram like this,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2a2666c16
checking the specs of the cooler and the ram could the G.Skill just work under that cooler,i'm not sure though.

As i said if you read well.




Not worth the price difference from what i see.



Overlooked that,but an older one yes,a new one might just be better. It's just to show that there are more possibilities.
For instance could he with that first build of mine get a R9 390 and use as extra storage an Samsung 850 EVO 250gb next to the already owned hdd and the M.2 950 Pro.

He could even go for an i7 if he wanted,
