I came across linus canel about a year ago and im sub sinced then, and i figure that this would be the best forum to post this.
 
I want to build a pc for light photo\video editing but mainly for gaming.This is the parts list:

(os-Windows 8.1
 case-NZXT Phantom 530
 cpu- i7 4770k
 cpu cooler-h100i
 gpu-Asus gtx780ti DirectCU II
 mobo-Asus maximus vi formula 
 RAM-corsair 16gb (2x8)
 storage-2xsamsung 840 evo 500gb
 psu-Corsair 750w 80+Bronze

BTW im runing the LG 34UM95 34" IPS UltraWide QHD Monitor 
 
(i also chose the gtx 780ti because i use the nvidia shield a lot)

The link to pcpp is broken

 

don't buy 2 ssds, if you really need more storage get a single 500gb ssd and a 2tb hdd instead. Also don't get a dedicated sound card, the integrated audio of that motherboard is already great. if you want better audio, get a better pair of headphones; if you have good headphones already, get an external dac. getting an internal sound card doesn't make sense for you. Everything else looks fine.

 

-EDIT-

the link is now fixed

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Sounds good, but you may want to wait for the new Z97 formula. Also you may want to switch out a SSD for a hard drive since videos take up a lot of space, unless you already have a HDD. Also the formula already has a sound card on board and with the extra money get more RAM, editing eats up the stuff.
