Things I would change:

 

- Get MX4 instead of Arctic Silver 5. Arctic silver is conductive making it a bit risky, is a bitch to spread properly and has a 200 hour burn-in period. The MX4 has none of this

- Unless you use something that can take advantage of CUDA, get http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr92803gbd5t2dheoc instead. HEAPS stronger that the 750 Ti in EVERYTHING except Cuda acceleration.

- http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cs550m Is a better PSU overall and cheaper

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

The ssd is about as expecive as most 120gb ssd and the GPU is meant to be replaceable but usable since I have a $1000 budget and is for video editing the GPU is (in some cases) not a big enough bottle neck to to worry about but I want a good one and a GPU is easier to replace then the cpu

Im not sure about Asrock, I dont trust them yet.

I would rather go with, Asus, MSI or Gigabyte since they are older more reputable brands and there is rarely anyone saying their motherboards dies on them.








Besides:
Export the list as BBcode, it looks better.

It is mainly me being a little bad at accepting new brands without bringing much new to the market exept design.

You know what you want and need the best.

Here is a thought what about saving on OS by using windows 10 technical preview and investing the extra $100 into a better video card???

Plus that way you can hold out till Microsoft announces which version of windows will have the free upgrade to Windows 10 and then purchase windows.

Here is what you could get if you were willing to go with Windows 10 technical preview until you can afford to pick up a full version. Its up to you but honestly me personally id rather spend the extra money now on a good GPU that will last for a long time and use a free version of windows for 2-3 months than spend $200 now on an older GPU that you will just replace in 6 months and spend another $300 on a better one so in the end you will have spent around $500 or more on going the route you were thinking.

Ok what about windows 8.1 enterprise technical preview its good for 90 days which should be more than enough time for you to get your hands on $80 more to land a full copy. Its what I did on my Macbook pro while i was waiting for my college to send me the keys for my windows vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 pro versions and it works just fine no issues at all.

Below is a link to it.

It probably wont fail, But i see more motherboards that doesnt start and such with asrock than other brands like Asus, MSI or Gigabyte, But it is not a significant amount.

Im close to 100% sure you wont have any problems with it.

The problems i have seen is things like it simply wont work from the factory.

This is my take on the video editing system. The 60GB is for the OS only really and if programs can fit they fit. The 240GB SSD is suppose to be a scratch disk for all your caching and so on. And the HDD is for the video file storage, other than that, everything is straightforward

Why h97?

if im right the 4790k is a haswell refresh cpu right? if it is, the h97 is to avoid BIOS updating if you're not comfortable with doing that on the x87/H81/B85 chipset
