Hi,
I want to build a PC for Video Editing and Gaming from Scratch.

Games played
1) Ashes of Singularity
2) Total War series

Video editing
1) Adobe Premier pro CS6
2) Lightroom
3) Audacity
4) Camtasia


I have decided to go for an Intel build.
Processor : i7 7700k
Chipset: z270 socket 1151
RAM 32GB 3200MHz dual channel

I am not able to decide whether to go for two RX 480s in crossfire mode or single GTX 1080?

I am not able to decide on MSI or ASUS for mobo + graphics card?

Can anyone advice me how much wattage is needed for this build?

Please help me. This is my first build.

Ok. I will then buy an Asus z270 mobo and Asus Strix 1080 gtx. Will those be a good choice? I live in India. We have an Asus service center in our city. How is the Asus mobo build quality? Is it better than MSI?

Thank you for the the recommendation Sir. I was planning to overclock CPU and GPU. Also I am contemplating to add liquid cooling. Will 650 Watt be sufficient? I might add another 1080 gtx after a year.
