Thoughts? I really don't want to go to Haswell-E, as my part selection is a good deal more expensive.

good build, i would go for an asus z170-a in that price range, and a wd caviar blue or a seagate 2tb. And maybe a corsair h60, or a noctua d14

Looks good to me!  You could change the cooler to an NH-D14 or Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3.  Next time, copy the [bb] code off pcpartpicker.

Probably swap out the board for a ASUS equivalent, and get a Noctua cooler.

 

The PSU is kinda overkill, might want to go down to either a 600W or 650W.

 

I think you can get a cheaper R5, but without the window.

 

Other than that, it's all good.

Mine's similar, but it has a 1000W PSU for more reliable crossfire in the future, just throw in an SSD and you should be good to go

I think this is kinda weak compared to OP's build.

 

The water cooler is unnecessary, an air cooler from Noctua can easily defeat a AIO. Downgrading to a Caviar Blue and ditching the SSD is clearly not worth it.

 

By looking at the OP's build, I think he wanted something silent with a minimalist design.

 

Going for 8 GBs of RAM for both editing and gaming is not great, minimum is 16 GBs.

 

Also that PSU is kinda sketchy to me.

The nepton 240m is a fairly silent cooler  though, and it runs fairly well.

I just had the build lying around, so things need to be added

Otherwise the power supply has fairly solid reviews, and the last rosewill series were just super flower rebrands, gotta look into this one closely

Hardware wise, you gimped everything else tho.

 

AIO have their flaws, air is still the best solution.

 

I usually refer to a PSU Tier List, I probably didn't see that one or I'm just blind. Sorry.

It's effectively the same though with more emphasis on performance per dollar.
