Replaced the gpu with a 970. Also you can save a lot of money on the OS cost by buying from reddit softwareswap or g2a

Motherboard has better audio for a small increase in $$$.

 

I thought the memory would match the red/black theme better.

 

Upgraded you to a 970, should be perfect for 1080p 60fps gaming.

I feel you'd enjoy this much better. Especially the IPS monitors

I changed it to an i7 which is better for editing

I changed it to a 380 since it's better bang for buck 

Changed PSU as it's better quality, cheaper and fits the black and red

Also changed to a better quality TN gaming panel and a IPS secondary panel since IPS has better colours so it's better especially because of viewing angles if you have a TN on a side angle the colors and brightness like bad on it.
