I am looking for a build that will play most games maxed out at 60+fps at 1080p and allow me to do some light video editing on Sony Vegas pro and adobe after effects. These games will be games like The witcher 3, black ops 3, world of warships, Dayz, arma and H1Z1. I also want the ability to eventually start gaming on a 1440p monitor at reasonable FPS. Here is my build:

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
 
MB - You will get the same performance and SLI / CF options with the less expensive ASUS below. Either would be fine...
MEM - 16GB is a lot. Consider 8GB for now with the option to add more later.
SSD - The Samsung 850 EVO is a better performer at that price point.
CASE - You sure you want a full tower?
GPU - Also consider the GTX 970. Same performance level, however less power draw and heat production.
PSU - No. XFX, Seasonic, the EVGA G2 lineup, or filter through the Tier 1 or Tier 2 list. If you stick with the R9, up the PSU size to an 850w unit. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
