I am going for a black and blue build which, of course is subject to change by you guys. BTW the reason I haven't included mouse and keyboard is because I already have them.

CPU: Intel i7 4790k

GPU: Sapphire Vapor-x 290

MOBO: Asus Z97-Pro

Case: NZXT H440 Black/Blue Edition

PSU: Corsair HX750

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB 1866mhz

SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

Monitor: Asus VG248QE 1080p 144hz

Like I said before I would like you guys to judge this, and tell me what's right and what's wrong with the build, also tell me what you guys would do to change it.

What kind of videos are you editing? Programs being used?

Are you planning to sli/cf? 

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