Storage drive: WD Green WD40EZRX 4TB 64MB Cache SATS 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper Z97 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATS 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Ram: HyperX Fury Black Series 16GB (2*8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR# 1866 Desktop Memory Model HX318C10FBK2/16

DVD Drive: ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B1st/BLK/B/AS - OEM

Graphics card: 2 way SLI gtx 970s......I don't know which model to get so If you could recommend one that would be great!..........I want to get 2 gtx 970 asus strix model, but amazon has raised the price to about 479 so I hope It gose down on black Friday ;)

Fans: like 6  Fans

Power supply: I need to know what wattage power supply I need for this build......Keep in mind that I am going to put in 2 gtx 970s

 

                         ~This system will be made for editing videos for youtube and also gaming. I already have a channel called TeerixGaming but my videos could be better. I game on a laptop and its not the best at gaming or editing vids. if you want to leave any suggestions on parts I should use let me know. my budget is around $1,300. Also which is better for all around use and experience, Windows 1.8 OR 7. I put links to most stuff in an attached file. I don't know if it will work but I wanted to see if it did.

thank you to any one who helped me and :P to any one who didn't. thanks!!!!!!!!!!

Two 970's - I say 750W is a more than safe bet. Also, get Windows 8 for that performance. You should also be getting an SSD if you have more than $700 to spend, which you do. A Sandisk Ultra Plus will do you fine at 120GB for your programs and random small files while the hard drive can store your videos (don't get that Kingston one - they have firmware issues that you should read about).

 

Also, why get such a high-end CPU cooler and a locked i5? Get an unlocked i5 and a Hyper 212 EVO instead for better performance.

 

EDIT: please follow your own topic too as that help everybody :)

I hope you're getting the i5-4690k and not the i5-4690, as the k is unlocked and actually $15 cheaper than the inferior non-K right now. You can get the i5-4690k at newegg right now for $210. No need to wait for Black Friday.

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?

Will the unlocked processor still work with my motherboard, and also what's the benefit of having an unlocked one?
