First Build Gaming Rig

[blindsiege]

So this is my first build and I plan on using it mostly for overclocking, gaming, school work, and editing.
I will be ordering this within the next couple of days and just wanted to make sure everything was good for my needs.
I want to play all my games in ultra 1080p smoothly and I also want to make sure everything is supported well enough
so everything is compatible. Open to all advice and suggestions. Cheers.

I would go with the Samsung 830 over the 840.

Other than that it looks fine, but what are you editing?

You may need to add $30 to your budget if you don't live near a microcenter. That price is in-store only. And yeah I would go with the 830, it's been proven to be reliable for a while and the 840 is really expensive per GB right now (although it is faster.) Also the 670 and the NH-D14 are BIG. Make sure you can fit them in the mid-tower case. Looks awesome though.

If you are editing it is stronly recomended you go for the 3770k or fx 8350
