This will be built to replace my old i5-4690k/760 the that was faithful to me over the years. I was hired by a YouTuber to do his editing and I already had planned for an upgraded so this worked out nicely. Any assistance will be awesome, here's the build.

Nice, this looks really sweet, the only reason I chose 2 512gb SSDs was because of aesthetics

money doesn't grow on trees you know

Go X99 for the video editing/gaming. More cores helps in that situation

Its a PCI-E SSD
Sequential Read: up to 2,400MB/s
Sequential Write: up to 1,200MB/s
 
Well you could just go for 2 SSD's in RAID or something...

@Chaos_the_God

 

Everything seems more-or-less fine, however you might want to look into the 5820K, especially with the extra video editing capability (and the fact that x99 price is much closer to z170 now). Definitely stick with the monitor you originally chose against the ROG SWIFT as the IPS is crucial for the video editing. 

 

My only other recommendations would be that you get a single larger HDD rather than two smaller ones (usually cheaper too if you do this), and the 1000W PSU is VERY overkill. Even if you go with 850W for now, it could still hold an extra GPU easily.

 

 

P.S. which youtuber is it?

 

 

EDIT: for the RAM, 3300Mhz is just overly overkill, you will never EVER need that high speed. IMO, have a look at the Avexir Core/Blitz1.1 RAM. I (at least) think that if you get the red LED variant, it will pair up with your mobo of choice pretty damn well.
