A all-around build.

[Lightbulbie]

Okay so a friend wants an all-around gaming, production build for art (drawing, videos, music ) and gaming. He wanted something powerful so I picked out these parts.

I'm wondering if this is solid enough for a pretty much all-around.. Extreme.. I don't even know what to call this thing.

Change Win7 Home Premium to Win8/.1 or Win7 Proffessional, it has a 16GB RAM cap.

Otherwise the build is fine, if waaaay overkill for the vast majority of purposes. You could achieve adequate gaming and similar video editing performance for a lot less.

I didn't know about the cap.
