So I'm planning on building a computer with the following parts, but I have never built a computer from the ground up like this before. I've done some research, but i still need suggestions for lowering price and/or increasing the performance. I want to keep the price between $1300-1400 (USD), and this build will be used to do video editing (after effects, premier, etc.), 3D modeling in 3DS Max, and lots of gaming (I would like to be able to run more demanding games on a good fps). I will be running one 1920x1080 monitor, but there is a possibility that I will run another (same resolution) at some point in the future. I already have peripherals, so all I need is the computer. I do need an operating system, as my old computer has vista still :P.

I'd get a cheaper psu of a better brand--like a cx600.

That's about it.
