Hi guys, so I am building my own custom pc, I have built a few before, the specs of this new one will be below but i was just wondering if the power supply is more then enough and that its all compatiable and will work smoothly and fast all together. Even have any suggestions as to switch out or add some things, throw them in.
(Price is not a worry for me)

Specs:
Case - Thermaltake Core P5 Tempered Glass Black Edition
Mobo - MSI Z270 XPOWER Gaming Titanium Motherboard
CPU - Intel Core i7 7700K
RAM - Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD16GX4M2B3000C15 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
Graphics card - ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 Ti OC 11GB
Power supply - Antec High Current Pro Platinum 1300W Modular Power Supply
HDD - Western Digital WD Black 4TB WD4004FZWX
SSD - Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD

Not sure if I've missed anything either

Oh you can definitely get way better than that. There's a couple of suggestions - going with an AMD R7 or going with an Intel i7.Option #1:

I'd do something like this. There is no better power supply and actually running a 1300watt supply at less than half capacity can actually be worse.

Faster SSD by a lot, stupid fast memory, top notch board that isn't just overpriced for the heck of it.

I'd say go with supaho's build but for the ram use G.Skill Trident Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory and maybe buy the 850W Version of the PSU if nesssary. Also, consider using a different CPU cooler such as a be quiet dark rock pro 3. If you have spare money, you might be able to SLI the GPU.

The Ryzen rig is significantly cheaper and will be better for video editing, but if you want to get a cheaper Intel rig then go for an i7-7700K.

This build is MUCH cheaper than all on top of it, featuring 32GB of fast RAM.

1800X, 8C/16T, much better than 7700K, overclockable.
3466Mhz RAM, because it will help rendering significantly.
960 EVO, becasue you need fast storage.
Only one 1080Ti, because I don't think video editing software can make use of both of them and gaming will do fine with one. You're saving $700 here.
EVGA G3, instead of Seasonic PRIME, because you won't notice a difference. I know PRIME is the absolute best, but G2 and PRIME are the same to the consumer's eye, the professional reviewers are the only ones able to see the difference.

I don't like to choose ryzen because it is manufactured my AMD, which is mostly recognized by the color red, and the color red represents fire and blood, while intel's blue symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
