I wouldnt. Just get a new psu, like a rm850x or rm750x

It would be fine

Dont you love how GPUs are NEVER expensive or fast enough?

Dat TDP tho

What if apple made desktop cpus?

seem solid

If you insist on a Corsair PSU go for an RMi or above, if not, get a EVGA G2, SeaSonic or a SuperFlower.
 
You should go fora 2 x 16GB RAM kit if the price isn't prohibitive where you live. An NZXT Kraken X61 is a superior AIO also.

You may want to grab a usb dvd drive.

thats the kind of answer i like.
 
corsair PSUs arent bad, theres just usually better for the price
(over here there isnt really... somehow)

NZXT is one of only few PC case manufacturers who haven't make any mini itx case. Well it seems their first itx case is coming soon, according to an article from the Japanese tech site Hermitage Akihabara.

On last Saturday, 19 Sept, a Computer store in Japan called "OVERCLOCK WORKS" held a workshop about Z170 motherboards. Since NZXT sponsored this workshop, all the builds in the workshop were assembled in NZXT cases.

Interestingly, in Hermitage Akihabara's article about this workshop, NZXT's first itx case was mentioned in the last paragraph. According to this article, NZXT planned to introduce their first mini itx case in December. Unfortunately no more info about the case was mentioned.

Here is the original text in Japanese, and translated version via Google Translate:
 

The top of the H440 will choke the rad. I get 10-13c difference with the top off. Its a good looking silent case but it is too restrictive imo.

If you've got the money for dual 980's go for it, 295x2 | more power consumption + heat  

Sexy

yeah i got a little anal but needed to be done

It would be 7gb edition.

At this budget, don't have your friend go with AMD. The budget is high enough that there's not need for the lacking performance.

This is fine, but he'll  be video editing, so trade the 980's for 970's and upgrade the i5 to an i7 4790K.

and since you wanted AMD, this might acually be better for editing do to the 2 8GB cards.

Personal computing has been a hobby of mine for awhile, now.  I've built several computers for myself, wife, family members and friends, but this will be my first ever attempt at watercooling and will hopefully last me through the next couple years as I attempt to complete my Bachelor of Science in Nursing.  This computer's purpose is to handle games for the next 2-3 years, be reliable, and power through CS6 freelance work I do for portrait photographers.
 
The Build
i7-5930k - I know a guy, who is a guy, and I got it for cheap. Arrived. Motherboard - I currently have an Asus X99-Pro, but I may switch it up depending on my color theme and because I am not quite satisfied with the PCIe layout if I were to choose a 3-way graphics card configuration.   16 gb (4x4) 2666 Corsair Vengeance LPX - It was on sale when I bought it and a neutral black. Arrived. MSI r9 290x Lightning x 2 - I currently have one so far and it's a monster for how cheap it is right now. 2x Arrived. Storage - These will probably change before the finished product, but I currently have a 512gb Crucial M4, 240gb Seagate 600 series, WD 3TB green, Seagate 1.5TB Barracuda (that is 5 years old and going strong, mind you). EVGA 1300 G2 - Plenty of headroom, but I may end up expanding if I get an itch to go trifire 290x Lightnings. Arrived. Corsair RM 750 - This is just in case I happen to add a third Lightning.  It's sitting around collecting dust at the moment and I'm keeping it around as a spare before I get sell it. Have. Case-Labs Mercury S8S with pedestal - Limited edition Mercury S8 and the best cube case in my opinion.  I elected to go with a windowed top to show off the components and the loop and add a pedestal to the chassis. It will hold two thick 360s and the extra RM 750 if it ends up being used. Shipped. Cabling - Was considering going with a set from Cablemod, but I'm sort of wanting a 3 color scheme and may end up with something self done or... else.  Need. The Cooling
Swiftech MCP655 - D5 Vario, may end up with another to place in serial for redundancy.  2x Arrived. Pump top - I dunno. Ordered. EK Supremacy EVO acetal+nickel - EK waterblocks simply look amazing, and, from my research, are top performing.  This particular one fits my goal aesthetically for the build. Arrived EK r9 290x Lightning acetal+nickel - Beautiful and fits my black and acetal theme. 2x Arrived. EK r9 290x Lightning black backplate - Going all out.  2x Arrived. Reservoir - Still debating.  I'm waiting to get the S8S to get things laid our and see how things end up. Alphacool NexXxos UT60 360mm - Low FPI and nice port layout. 2x Arrived. Alphacool NexXxos UT60 240mm - Low FPI and nice port layout. 2x Arrived. Fittings - The big question, now.  Do I go rigid tubing or flexible. Primochill Rigid Revolver fittings black/silver. 10x Arrived. Tubing - See above. Primochill PETG tubing. 8x Arrived. Fan controller - I have an NZXT Grid+, but I'm not sure if it will support as many fans as I'm going to need. Need. The Peripherals
Poker ii - White back light, Cherry MX clears. Have. Razer Naga 2014 - I like buttons. Have. Dell 2713hm - I've had it for a few years, now.  I like it. Have. Some cheap-o Gateway 23" peripheral monitor - For screen real estate. Have. [spoiler=Updates/Pics]
Little update #1 Crappy cell phone pic (2 Lightnings, 1 R4)
