Is this a good build for someone who wants to game, edit videos, use music production software (fl studio) and get into Photoshop and after effects?

I plan on using the middle for the main and the other 2 for multitasking. But maybe since they are bezel less I well surround game

No nothing has been bought but it will begin in around 2 weeks or so

If you change a few things around you can get a 2nd GTX 970 in there. That will certainly help when gaming across the 3 screens. 

 

You can see some benchmarks for 5760 x 1080 in this link - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_970_SLI/1.html

 

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro will give you better airflow. You can still add an LED strip and LED fans if you want.

 

The EVGA G2 power supply is one of the best on the market for the price/performance. You get a nice 10 year warranty after registration.

I think that 1 970 should be good, but I'll consider it.

I have considered the entho pro before, but the h440 is amazing I love the looks and the smaller frame.

I'll switch the power supply, not a fan of corsair but couldn't find anything better.

The motherboard I have switched so many times its not even funny. I'm still having doubt's about MSI, are they good or is Asus still the way to go?

If you don't mind lower settings on some games then a single GTX 970 will run 3 screens. You can always SLI later on.

 

The H440 is a nice case. If you prefer it then stick with it.

 

The EVGA G2 is a great psu. Here is a review - http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=380

 

I don't think you can go wrong with MSI, Gigabyte or Asus for motherboards. The MSI Krait is a bit more sparse but it fits in with the colour scheme and budget in the spec I did. If you are going for just a single GTX 970 then you can put the Asus board back into your build. That camo design is pretty nice.

 

You can also get matching Ram for the Asus board. I don't know which store would stock it in the USA but this is the Ram in question -  https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-083-AR

My plan is to buy this now then put another 16gb of fury black ram in and another gtx 970 in when I have some cash.

Also my plan with the motherboard is to paint the Armour plating black with plastidip so the whole thing isnt too white (want black/white)

Hyper X fury is the nicest ram I have ever seen, I love it.

That should look pretty nice when finished.

 

The Kingston Ram is very nice. I have a set of HyperX Black Ram in my pc. The newer HyperX Fury looks nicer still.

Do you think anything else should be changed?

I would take a couple of things from my spec, such as the SSD and Cooler. It will fit in the H440. You can also drop the thermal paste as all coolers have their own.

 

There is a Black/White version of the Phanteks Cooler.

I really don't like air coolers, there to bulky and water coolers do a better job. I'm actually going to buy some mineral oil for this as a fallback in case it does leak because that is a fear I have., and what ssd is it? I am open for recommendations for that because I am undecided between Intel and Samsung on that part

I love nothing more than a huge chunk of metal hanging off my motherboard  :D

 

I would go with a Samsung 850 Evo or Crucial BX100/MX100 (Whichever is the cheapest) as they are all solid drives.
