Don't get the 5930K even if you like the pride of having a "Because-You-Can" Item it's not worth it. Also if you are going to weave you video (or whatever) internally get a second and run it in raid 1

Get a second what? Also I don't have the money at this exact moment but I can wait to get enough money for each part.

Only get 16GB of RAM unless you are hardcore about rendering and editing.

Overclock the cpu, wait for Windows 10, and possibly rethink all of the Noctua.

What is wrong with Noctua?

This build will be mostly for video creation a gaming here and there. In my mind I say there is a price limit but in reality there is not. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dYybxr

 

An i7-5820K will provide very similar performance to the i7-5930K in this build.

 

The psu is oversized. An 850 would be more than enough. I would suggest the EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR which is the best value in its class - (excellent quality, very good price).

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
