Is this a good build?

[be_x]

I am looking at building a nearly top of the line pc for gaming mainly but also some video editing from time to time. 

Here is the PCpartpicker https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Offben/saved/

Are there any glaring issues/incompatibilities/obvious upgrades I should be aware of?

Thanks

Don't go NEX with the PSU. There are much better options. Outside of that, I don't see much to change with this build.

the only suggestion i have is try to go X99

 

your at the top end of the CPUS on the mainstream platform. go to the X99 platform so you have room to upgrade

Get a different PSU. the NEX series aren't the best. check out this one instead: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1

or if you really need 650W (which you don't unless you plan to SLI and overclock hard) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9q4NnQ/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1

 

Its only a couple bucks more and significantly better.

 

Other than that you could maybe go X99 if your budget will allow it.

Also, you have an awesome black and white theme going on in your build... why ruin it with that ugly ass cooler? you could get something like a corsair H115i or H100i V2 AIO cooler (280mm and 240mm respectively) for not much more money.

Have you tried 144 hz before, I bearly notice any change after 60 fps, but thats just me, I would recommend you try it first hand and see if you can tell the differnce.

you'd definitely want to wait for kaby and cannonlake or get the 6850k and x99 - well worth the investment if you are doing serious editing and rendering

I see a huge difference so it definitely varies from person to person

ST2000DM001 2TB Barracuda have a very poor reputation. Consider a different hdd, either a WD Blue 2TB, or some other size.

 

EVGA SuperNOVA 550 would be a much better psu choice. Other good options are EVGA 210-GQ-0650-V1,  SeaSonic SSR-750RM,  or  SeaSonic SSR-650RM.

For the PSU get an EVGA G2 instead of the NEX. And you should consider going with X99.

No point in getting the 6850K over the 6800K. You are paying 200$ for basically nothing. Unless he has a ton of PCI-e devices/like 3-4 GPU's he wont need it.

yes, I agree, but he said he was doing editing, he may need 2 or 3 quadros to do some serious rendering

I don't think he will be getting that any time soon
