working on this if you wanna build it. 

 

4770k

Asus Impact. 

240mm loop or AIO

670mini is there right now but can be replaced with a stronger card.

the PSU is a place holder. a lower wattage may be added.

im working on the case as we speak. lemme know if youre interested.

Do you think it will perform well If I OC to lets say 4.5 GHz?

 

OC the most you can with the cooler you have 4.0,4.2ghz, etc. there is not much increase and the less heat in the tiny build is better since is a editing machine and will be runing long periods of time (rendering, modeling, etc.)

What do you think I could get?

I think a H100i fits in a Prodigy,

Peripherals: Logitech G19 and SteelSeries Sensei RAW

Toshiba L50-A: i7 4700mq, 8gb, 1TB HDD, GT 740M 2gb

Estimated at approx 370w with a 770. And with overclocking it should still be fine.

Psu calculators for the most part are highly inaccurate.

Do you think it would excel in overclocking? Or would a H55 do better?

It'd be pretty good. The H55 is not a good AIO and is rather loud. I wouldn't go any lower than an h80i if you're actually wanting to get it for cooling and not just looks. 

 

Why not get a cheaper mobo?

What case are you getting, and you typically won't notice any performance increase when overclocking

Get a MSI Z87I if you want to save some money and for the PSU get a Seasonic M12II 520W

I'm building my own case. I want the impact :).

Just make sure you have heaps of vents for fans and room for coolers

I beg to differ on the performance. Sony Vegas Pro 12, especially without the GTX 770 will do cpu rendering. Every bit of speed will count. Even with gpu rendering the cpu is well exercised.

 

Seasonic is the way to go. Although with a decent overclock 520W is cutting it close if one wants the psu to last a few years.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

I agree.

PCPartpicker isn't accurate, you will need at least a 500-550w PSU

No, a 3770K Oced to 4.5GHZ, a 680 Oced to 1280MHZ, 16GB's of ram, 3 HDD, a ssd, and about 8 fans all in a water cooling loop at full load only needs 400W. I can post a video of proof if needed.

Psus don't have 100% efficiency. Also, it's not just about wattage. There are also other requirements like amperage on the 12v rail.

Always want at least 200w extra to maintain your PSU. Having a 400wat build with a 450 watt PSU is not good... ex...
