A very good build, but for a lot of video editing, not so much...

 

Just drop VII Hero and get a better CPU cooler :D

 

Also, especially since you're video editing, get 2x4/2x8Gb of RAM.... Going with 2x4 is so stupid.....

H100i has some mounting issues and Corsair link is sometimes a mess, best to go with a H105 or a Seidon 240M instead. 

 

What sorts of "mounting issues" does the most popular AIO have that the H105 does not share?

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Swap the Hero for the Ranger, I got one and it still has loads of features (most of which I don't use... yet!), just not the extra things you also probably won't need.

 

Also do NOT get 4x 2GB RAM stick, get 2x 4GB or 1x 8GB or 2x 8GB. 4x 2GB is silly.

Ups i meant 2x4gb not 4x2 :D my mistake...  And VII Hero in my country cost 174Eu and ranger is 158Eu.Not much difference.

Thanks. I have not encountered or heard of the problem before.
