I have a logitech G11 Keyboard and G5 Mouse currently.

I will be using a Samsung 24" monitor as well as the BenQ. The games I primarily play are BF3, WOW and GW3. I am starting to stream a lot and video edit via sony vegas and Adobe after effects. I am aware that the AMD cards are cheaper but I love Nvidia and want to stick with them. Everything else is negotiable :) Thank you in advance for your time.

1) your build is good... however i think you should get GTX 670 4GB with better cooling performance... the CUDA cores from Nvidia will help out a lot in video editing too... something like this

2)i don't think that PSU is a good choice... and you don't really need that much of wattage... take something more reliable like this

3)i don't think you will need that much of ram... but it is ok to have it if you're going to do some heavy multitasking...if not... go for 8GB of RAM is enough...
