Hey,

I am going to build my first gaming/editing PC. I was wondering if http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DZ2t23 would do good? Would you change/add anything else? I don't want to spend more than $8,000 but if needed will do. Price atm with peripherals and extras is around $7,000.

Hope you guys can help!
Thanks

Isn't the 5th gen i7 better than the 4th gen? I'm not really on a budget so I want something that's quite powerful

A few things to note.

1. The corsair CPU cooler already has thermal paste applied on the CPU block.

2. The motherboard has wifi-ac.

And only 2-way SLI on a x99 platform?
