    This ultimate build guide focuses on future potential. We wanted to explain and demonstrate the value of AMD's Kaveri series APUs' HSA-capable architecture, while also showing you how to build your own Kaveri gaming (or otherwise) system!
     


     I'm going to list out the components as well as provide a source or two for where you can get them 
     
    I can't tell you where to buy this stuff, but I do lean towards NCIX for the Canadians (and International viewers if their pricing and shipping costs work out for you) because they're my bros, and for Americans, Brits, and a couple other regions, the Amazon links below are affiliate links, so of course every little bit helps

    There is proof of your point.

    I chose the Xeon because it was recommended for video editing. i7 doesn't make sense like you said. I might go with skylake, or this. I'm not sure yet.
    I'll change the SSD.
