Building a new gaming computer - need help planning

[TKUIYEAGER1]

Budget - 1000$ is the maximum

Aim - Gaming computer and a bit of editing videos

Monitors - 2 

Peripherals - No

Why i am upgrading - my PSU isn't working as well, my graphics card is GT 730 and i want better gaming performance.

 

I am trying to create my self a new gaming computer and i need your help.
What im sure i want in the computer:
EVGA GTX 950 SC+ ACX 2.0 2GB GDDR5
Intel Core i5-3450 3.10GHz - I already own this proccessor so i dont need to buy other one

 

So, basically what i need now is help about choosing the other parts:
- PSU
- MotherBoard
- 8 Gigabytes of RAM
- HDD
- Water cooling for the proccessor
- Computer case which will be perfect for all the parts i need

 

Thanks for reading, hope to see some ideas in the replies.

Why would u go for Watercooling on a non K cpu?

 

1 grand budget for the listed components + the 950?

Yes, but without the monitors because i already have.

Also, whats non K cpu means?

I'm gonna be honest if you're going to edit video you will want a CPU upgrade. This is what I would do for a full $1000 gaming / editing 1080p build.

there are Intel cpus which have a "k" behind the name which means they're able to overclock. You wont need liquid cooling. The pumps are loud and they're overpriced.

Go with some good mid-end air cooler. Something like the 212 evo.

 

Mainboardwise just chose the one, which got all the connectors u want and matches the Sockel of ur CPU.

Ram: just get the cheapest one in the capacity you need. Ram speeds doesnt matter too much.

 

If you want a good PSU take a look at that thread:

Just as a reminder since that ranking isn't being updated anymore we made a new one. #shamelessplug

Replace his cpu with i5 6600k and mobo. and Im good. Possibly even an i7 6700k with 16gb ram for pricing reasons.

I think you'll need a CPU upgrade to max out 1080p anyway, so I still recommend it

Maybe a stock 6700k not and OC one. - best bet is to do what I have said and go with the 6700k and 16gb of ram. Anything beyond that is overkill for what your needing to do.

People who work in Adobe Premiere in this forum have stated 32GB is the minimum since performance tanks hard on 16GB. For someone who'll only do it ocassionally it makes sense to just forego the xeon and do an i5 6600K
