Teehee - made it more powerful, cheaper, and added a GTX 980... all just a hair over the $1750 budget.

Dude, don't go with AMD if your spending that much money... a 4670k and a decent 90 dollar z97 will do you much better than AMD.

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.

The build that I posted would be superior to yours, so I'd advise going with that one. The 4690K is great and if it's not enough, I'll link to a 4790K which will kill the 9370 in its sleep.

 

As far as monitors, what's your budget for those?

Here yeah go:

 

This'll beat anything made by AMD. Period. It is over budget though. While I'd advise this over the 4690K for editing, I'd highly advise either of my builds over the original for content creation and gaming.

Please have a look at my old rig http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/236684-fx9590-project-cool-down-v2-amd-overkill/to give you an idea of the level of cooling you will require and then think about the undertaking...

 

But the price point AMD will make you a faster editing rig I know because I had one...

Do you really need 32gb of ram?

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

This video showed that most programs didnt use over 8 to 16GB of ram, so 32 is unneeded in most cases.

"Depending on the price" I know of good $150 monitors and good $800 monitors. Based on your statement, you have some sort of a limit. 

 

For the low end, the $150 Dell E2414H is a great option. For the higher-end, the $300 ASUS PA-248Q is a good option.

Also can this system (the new one you sent) overclock?

The new one, featuring the i7 4790K should be able to overclock very well. I had the same set up (mobo/cpu/cooler - see my gallery) and it ran at a stable 4.6Ghz with no issues.

Your a content creator eh? What kind of content are you creating?

 

If you're doing 3D Video editing/rendering and tasks like it you may need a 4K, but they are very expensive. For gaming and simple video editing and rendering 1080p and 1440p are ample for that.
