If you're going to edit more then playing games on it I would recommend going for the 5820k instead of the 6700k cause 5820k is better for editing since it has 6 cores and mor threads, you could try to go for a 600 - 650W PSU instead of a 750W. 32GB RAM isn't in need unless you want to have a lot of programs open while you're editing that's own preference tho, you could go for 16GB and still be fine but if you want 32GB then sure why not go for it.

for editing the 32gb can be useful.

Corsair RMx @sazrocks 

 

yeah and i really think it can't be enough ram for editing. i've seen premiere alone eat up 16gb on rendering... and since ram is fairly cheap it can't hurt.

 

About cooling though. so i have one of those cooler master hyper 212 air coolers in there with one push and one pull. i should be able to get a bit of a safe overclock with that right? or would you recommend just going with liquid right away? pros/cons?

 

Thanks a lot!

You should be fine with air cooling for a good while
