Can I do better than this?

[Jonnysweb]

I have built a PC on PC Partpicker and here is the link to it uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/JonnysWeb/saved/vcqwrH.

I need a PC for regular video editing that will play games at max settings preferably. I want to have an Nvidia Card but if you feel like persuading me towards AMD please try. I have gone with an AMD based system becasue I intend to game predominately.

Budget is  - £1400 or $2200

Thanks in Advance

Ditch the sound card, get a cheaper case/GPU and get better specs which actually matter instead of good looks.

 

The motherboard also is bad for OCing, a 990FX would do better.

Intel > AMD for gaming

 

I'd also lose the ODD unless you actually need one. 

8gb of RAM is also sufficient for gaming. 

I'd also downgrade the HDD to a 2tb Seagate Barracuda

tbh mate, you look like the kind of guy that wants to start making youtube videos with your friends and throw Pewds off of his throne.

I don't mean to be mean, but don't focus on the video editting side of things. Make sure the gameplay is as optimised as possible, so the content can be consistent.

AMD CPUs are too out of date these days to justify using them in current high-end gaming rigs. If you have that much money to spend on a gaming/editing rig, go Intel, at least until AMD comes out with something that has guts, at least.

Go for something like an i5-4670K if you're just playing games, and if you need the extra hyperthreading horsepower, go with an i7 4790K. (actually you'll need the extra power for streaming, which ironically is something that AMD showed.)
