It looks pretty good, just get a better power supply, like an EVGA Supernova.

It should do that fine. I would recommend this power supply over the CX though.

I would actually buy a 80+ gold instead.

Looks fine although going to the X99 platform would be beneficial for editing and recording :) 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

I've only made two changes:

 

The ID Cooling Frostflow performs like a 280mm AIO even though it's a 240mm, and it's really cheap over there so take it.

The Intel 600p is a better SSD than the 850 Pro thanks to the NVMe interface, which will make the rendering process more smooth. It's also significantly cheaper, if you're gonna spend more than $250 on a 512GB SSD, grab yourself a 950 Pro instead.

In it's current state at the time of this post, I'd say it's a decent build. @Energycore has made a few changes I would maybe take into account though.

Also, have to say it, the prices in Oz at the moment compared to the UK is awesome for you guys... we're getting kicked in the nuts right now by the prices.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
