Case choice is pretty subjective, but my CM master case pro 5 is very good. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

Also is this only for gaming? Because a 7700K cannot be beat in gaming?

For 4K you can do better that. And like I said if this is only for gaming a 7700K is far better.

You don't need to spend anywhere need $4,000 for that. Save some money, $1,500 is all you need to spend.

Exactly that's what I'm saying. And if all he is doing is a little bit of editing and light gaming, he doesn't need to spend anywhere near that.

I want you to understand something man. Spending $4,000 on a PC is just stupid. To spend that you would have to buy stupid overpriced stuff that almost no one can utilize, spend $1500 tops for what you are doing.

But do you get what I'm saying, you don't need to spend $4,000, that's literally throwing money out the window.
