Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. I've been at work now for over 7 hours and have been stuck on here reading. I have completely fallen in love with this place!

With that said....

I am looking at a new build. I have several questions. My primary use is video editing in Premiere, After Effects and converting RAW files. Eventually 3D and animation work. I hate lag and want a powerful, smooth running and fast machine. I currently use a 2 year old Sager notebook.

1) Cooling. What is the best way with my case of choice? I don’t want to mod the case. How to set up current fans? Do I add fans? Best liquid/water cooling?
2) Is this build the best bang for the buck?
3) What suggestions or improvements could you see, or do you recommend?

Case - COOLER MASTER Storm Stryker
Motherboard – Sabertooth 990FX/GEN3
CPU – AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz
GPU – AMX FirePro W7000 4GB
PSU – COOLER MASTER 1500W
RAM – CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB 1866
Media - LG Blu Ray Burner w/3D Play Back
Card Reader – AFT Pro 35U All-in-one 2.0
SSD – 120GB (Operating System), 240GB (Programs, Apps), 120GB (caching, scratch disks, etc)
HHD – 4 Seagate Barracude 7200 Enterprise 3TB - 2 sets of 2 striped drives each; one set for reading and the other for writing
