Suggestions for Editing suite PC build

This is the build that I'm planning for. My main purpose will be video editing and vfx (obviously gaming too). These are the components that I planned for:

 

1.  Asus X99 Deluxe II Edition for LGA2011v3 - X-Series Socket MotherBoard
2. Intel Core i7 6800K
3. ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 (ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING)
4. Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C14 Memory Kit (CMD32GX4M4A2400C14)
5. Corsair H100i v2 Hydro Series Dual 120mm Fan with RGB - 240mm Radiator Liquid Cooling Solution
6. Corsair HD Series HD120 RGB LED 120mm High Performance RGB LED PWM three fans with controller Three pack with controller (5 fans in total)
7. Corsair PSU HX1000i
8. Samsung 850 EVO 250GB  SATA III Internal SSD
9. WD 2 TB SATA III Desktop Hard Drive (Black)
10. Corsair Graphite Series 760T Full-Tower Case

 

Guys please give me your opinions on the build. I'm also planning for overclocking the system, so please do give your suggestions on the psu (whether its sufficient or not if later I add up another graphics card). Also if I need to make any changes please do let me know. I'll eagerly wait for your suggestions.

What programs?

 

Id get a ryzen 1700, faster and cheaper.

 

For editing, no reason to get a 1080, a 1060 will be fine

 

Id get a air cooler. No worry of leaks, and one less point of failure

 

 

Id get a bigger ssd so you can store your projects on them

 

Id get a cheaper hdd and just use it for storage, not editing(get a blue or segate)

My 2 cents:

 

1.  Asus Crosshair 6 X370 AM4 Motherboard
2. AMD Ryzen 1700
3. ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 (ROG STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING)
4. Corsair 3200 LPX 4x 8gb DDR4
5. Corsair H100i v2 Hydro Series Dual 120mm Fan with RGB - 240mm Radiator Liquid Cooling Solution
6. Corsair HD Series HD120 RGB LED 120mm High Performance RGB LED PWM three fans with controller Three pack with controller (5 fans in total)
7. EVGA 650w Supernova G2
8. Samsung 850 EVO 250GB  SATA III Internal SSD
9. WD 2 TB SATA III Desktop Hard Drive (Black)
10. Corsair Graphite Series 760T Full-Tower Case

 

Why? 6800k is 6 cores/12 threads, Ryzen will give you 8 cores 16 threads and the CPU costs less than the 6800k.

I have 6800K. The only advantage I have over Ryzen is higher clock speed. 500Mhz more. Get Ryzen, and mobo will be cheaper too. 1700X and OC to the brim to match 1800X.

 

PSU is an overkill, but keep it.

Get Corsair H115i instead. Slightly bigger for slightly more.

No need to get expensive Dominator Platinum, get something cheaper, save some bucks and invest in something else like e.g. bigger HDD.

Otherwise, decent choices.

What is your Budget? If I was you @Avronil, I would, like all replies before mine stated, go with a Ryzen CPU. It is not only more cost effective, but additionally, you get 8 cores. Here is an example of a silent build, which is similar to my current one, which is nearly inaudible (perfect if you value a quiet work environment... at least I do, I don't care about fance looks. Just my own taste...) :

Ryzen Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dnqp4C

 

Compare that to your build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vfcT9W

 

...and you will quicly realize how much of a difference it makes, when going for performance over design of each individual component (even managed to get a 1080 ti in there and it still costs more than 100$ less; btw I chose the strix variant because I have simply good experiences with Asus strix cards due to their great heat dissipation). I don't mean to belittle beautiful builds, quite the contrary, but as a professional, having a quiet work environment to be efficient, as well as having a computer that blends in and doesn't distract me is key for productivity in my case (pun intended lol). Of course take all of this with a grain of salt. It is ultimately up to you. :) Good luck and have fun building buddy. ;)
