Hi, I am looking for a biuld under 1500 usd for mainly video editing ( Premiere Pro, After Effects ) with 2 monitores, I cant afford a Mac atm so this is the setup I have so far at 1300 usd. I can go up to 1500 if it worth it. I have to add this is not my 1st build but I will OC for 1st the time so maybe a OC friendly mother is welcome, also I will add a 2nd video card in the future. Thanks in advance to this great community and sorry for my english. Cheers!

You dont have a case or monitor included in your list. Do you have them already?
As far as MB is concerned: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 will do good in O/C for a good price point.

Consider getting a better GPU like a 560Ti (~$220) or even a GTX580 (~$500) if you can squeeze you budget a bit more.

Asus p8z68-v pro is one of the best boards but it is not Gen3. You can wait for the gen3 version or get the MSI that is already gen3 (Asrock E4G3 also great)
You go i7 2600k but use CM 212? I would say you spend too much on the processor while crippling the rest a bit. For a little more i would get the Xigmatek Aegir. You truly can't go wrong with it.
I would also go for a different PSU. Enermax, Antec, Corsair, Lepa etc etc. If you are looking for a budget one also the thermaltake toughpower wont let you down.
The SSD now. Personally i would cut a little on other things just to up the ssd performance and capacity. Video editing you say... Crucial m4 128 is the best bang for buck. Also OCZ Agility 3 120.
HDD, for the same money or so the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1tb is faster (much so) bigger and meaner. Don't cripple your hdd especially for video editing.
