But you already have one.

No, I don't! Not to be rude, but if one reads my OP correctly and thoroughly they'd see that this is for a planned build. I don't have any of it yet. ;)

He doesn't, he's picking the components right now.

 

I still think more SSD storage would be better than something like ~10% better gpu performance, since he's going to use the PC mainly for video editing and not for gaming

Well, I'm coming from a pretty weak GT 430 which as just 96 CUDA cores. I think that the GTX 970s 1,664 CUDA cores should suffice, don't you? :D

I read OP but I figured you have one from the responses, go for the 970 and the SSD it will be better.

No worries mate! My assumptions often get people annoyed to, and I'm guessing that you meant to say "Go with the 512GB SSD", yeah?

1 x 512GB SSD Samsung (for boot and primary applications ONLY - WARNING DO NOT FILL SSD OVER 90% bad things can and often start to happen)

1 x GTX 700 to 980 (don't matter - nice for gaming)

2 x Western Digital Caviar Black drives (2 x 4TB drives for data storage and 1 for backup)

1 x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB or 2TB drive for other software and game installations (steam etc)

32 or 64GB of Ram

Nope! Wasn't POed. Just trying to make people understand that I didn't have this system yet and it was getting quite frustrating to keep on explaining this. -_-

Anyway, it's all good mate, thanks for your recommendation. :)

You should fix your OP I think it makes people think you have a 970.

What about the CPU or getting more RAM? Video editing depends a lot more on those.

@Agost, can you please explain what you understand to this guy please?

lol

 

However, have you considered getting a 5820K, X99 and 16GB ddr4 instead of the 4790K? That would make a difference, not a 980 vs 970 

 

If an X99 platform+970+512GB SSD+some TB of HDD storage fit you budget, that would be the best option ( but I'm not considering used stuff )
