I would get a different power supply like one from xfx, seasonic, nzxt, fractal design, or corsair. For the monitor I would recommend something like a asus pb238q or dell u2312hm, they may be 23in, but they are nicer screens. Why cheapout on the thing you will be staring at while using the computer.

Hey, bud. Was there anything you didn't want to change with your suggested build? Especially with appearance. Also see that you chose a K edition processor, so you should invest in a aftermarket CPU cooler if you want to overclock.

Asus PA248Q would be a better choice for video editing.

The BenQ you chose I believe is nothing special. You should get the XL2420t if you want 120hz or a good IPS panel like the PB238Q. Also I recommend a 7950 over a 760.

i5 4670k | Sapphire 7950 | Kingston 120GB SSD | Seagate 1TB | G.Skill Ripjaw X Series 8GB

PB238Q | Steelseries Sensei | Ducky DK9087 | Qck Heavy

i plan on getting a H100i or 80i as soon as i have the funds as well as a ssd

 

as for other psu's i have to chose from any of these

 Aerocool VP750 750W True Power

 CFI 700W 80+ Silver Power Supply

Antec VP650P 650W Power Supply

Xigmatek Vector S 750W 80+ Silver

Corsair VS650 ATX Power Supply

 

and the monitor i really do wish i had the money to buy the XL2420T but since i will most likely be getting another monitor in the future i will keep the Benq GL2460HM 24" for a start.

 

if you think there are any other components that need to be swapped out for something please let me know
