Let's get down to it, here is my build so far:

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BdMq3F

The only thing wrong it says in the notes:

"NZXT S340 - Designed by Razer ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the Asus P8H61-M LE/CSM R2.0 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers."

1. Can someone explain what that means exactly, do I have to get another motherboard to fit?

This build will be for video editing/ digital art with light gaming (WoW maybe Overwatch)for now. I mainly use my ps4 and record gameplay but I've decided to do this.

2. What video card is right for my build or its purpose?

I understand that I can upgrade if I want to play high end games but for right now I'm fine with the ps4.

3. Do I need a sound card? Or any network adapter?

I'm using my TV as a monitor which brings me to my next question

4. Do I need a separate monitor to rec using the elgato hd60 or will my TV as the monitor suffice?

I believe I can fit up to 5 fans inside my case and I think the cooling system counts as 2 of the 5

5. Any fans that are quiet but not expensive and keeps everything cool? Also do I need a fan controller?

6. Thermal compound? Are they all the same?

That should be about it, I know what mouse and keyboard I want so if there is anything else you'd recommend all ears.

Thanks in advance guys.

H61 chipset doesn't support USB 3.0 and SATA 6gb/s so it makes sense that the motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers. You will also often see internal USB 3.0 headers omitted on low-priced economy model motherboards to cut costs.

I would recommend at least a 256-Bit video card.

I recommend Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound.

So should I just swap motherboards with one that has 3.0usb headings? What do you recommend on that? Thanks by the way for your answers.
