Hey guys,

I do alot of 3d modelling, video editing and gaming, and I'm looking to upgrade and partially futureproof my rig.

This is what I'm looking at right now - I already own the GTX 670 from my current PC, and I'm gonna stick with it to save money, and use my 2Tb HDD
 

 
CPU:  Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  (£227.99 @ Aria PC) 
CPU Cooler:  Corsair H105 73.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  (£82.99 @ Ebuyer) 
Motherboard:  MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  (£110.38 @ CCL Computers) 
Memory:  Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory  (£118.99 @ Scan.co.uk) 
Storage:  Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (£54.99 @ Amazon UK) 
Case:  NZXT Phantom 530 (White) ATX Full Tower Case  (£96.64 @ Scan.co.uk) 
Optical Drive:  Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer  (£16.95 @ Amazon UK) 
Total: £796.77
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Would you change anything?  I don't really want to have to go much higher pricewise.

For gaming, GTX 670 is great. For video editing, if you use CUDA, GTX 670 is great. 4770K is great for 3D work. You don't need to upgrade anything, it's a great rig!
