Although powerful, the build is very expensive and the performance isn't good for the price. 

What kind of videos are you working on? Programs being used?

Are you planning to sli? 

Are you limited to amazon or are you open to using other US shops? Budget?

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

Picked that motherboard because it looks nice lol

Youtube videos and like sony vegas

Not really sure what sli is but searched it and says its for better framerates. I mostly play LoL and Ill probably play gaems like dayz, minecraft, cod and maybe bf3.

I would prefer amazon and money really isnt much of a issue but wont want to spend like $1k for a graphics card

What kind of YT videos? 

The system is pretty overkill for what you're playing. 

What about the peripherals? Do you have those covered or do you need them? If you have them already, do list them.

You don't need an i7 for that. An i5 is already plenty. 

Are you really okay with paying $200 more pretty much for just looks?

Why get a high frequency TN panel instead of a better looking IPS panel?

Yes, that's how extended desktops work.

Can i switch the motherboard to the one i picked?

 

And where can i find helpful videos to build a pc? I've seen a couple but maybe theres other more helpful videos.

 

Or should I just go to like tigerdirect and have them build it for me?

Yes, you can needlessly spend $200 more if you want to.

Here you go:
