Video Editing / Gaming Rig Suggestions

[Nekrotix]

Any suggestions on what should be changed?( I went for the 750w corsair powersupply for two reasons, I plan to crossfire later

and I'm possibly going to get their cable kit. Also I have plenty of storage in my current machine so a 1TB should be fine for now.)

If you're video editing, I would go for larger than a 1TB. Try a 2 or 3TB Blue or Black, and I might throw in a 64 or 128gb SSD for boot. Everything else looks good, but I would go nVidia for GPU - the 7950 is getting pretty old, but if it works for you thats fine.

 

Hope this helps!

If you have plenty of storage, why not check out a solid state? Just an idea - that 4770k pushing through a HDD will definitely be a little overkill for your use.

You'd want more space between the cards if you're planning to cf.

Could also be cheaper: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3RHlz

I already have a SSD boot drive and a 2TB HDD I agree on the 7950 getting old but I don't want to just put it in storage when it still has some kick especially in crossfire.

Should I step up the MOBO to a ROG Hero and get a bigger case? (I'm also going for aesthetics)

Looks are subjective. Unless you're stuffing the case with watercooling, a large empty case wouldn't really look good.

Also, looks are subjective.
