Is My Build Good?

[AceTheGreat]

Hey. I'm attempting to select parts for my new build. I plan on using a 24" 1ms 1440p monitor, and maybe a second one in the future. 

 

I plan to use it for playing future gen games on max settings, Full HD video editing, animation, and casual use. 

I haven't chosen an exact monitor or case yet.

Will this build suit my needs?

Looks good except I would change the cooler to something else, if you plan on overclocking a bit more in the future.

Replace the WD black by a WD blue + SSD. And you could save alot on your mobo as well.

The WD black is hardly worth it, in my opinion.

I think it looks pretty good though if I was investing that amount of money into a system then I'd install an SSD, another thing I don't think this qualifies to be posted in the 'Troubleshooting' subsection mate

There is no 1440p 1ms 24 inch monitor.

First of all, can you state the specific monitor that is 24", 1440p and has 1ms response time?

 

As for your build, consider waiting a bit so you can buy the new VII Hero with the Z97 chipset. Get a dual channel kit of memory for future upgrades. 3TB HDD is overkill. You can get a SSD and a 1/2TB HDD with that kind of money. For the case, consider the Define R4 or the NZXT H440.

 

Aside from that, it looks good.
