So I've been all over the internet for months and looking at my budget of 4000 Max and I think I've don't it,.  but I'm not sure if there's gonna be issues with I build I chose for the uses Im putting it too. I will be using Sony XBR55X930E 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2017 Model) for now until I hook up a 4k touch monitor with high refresh rate along with free or g sync type stuff.  I will be using it for gaming in 4k 60 fps or higher in lots of games. Yes farcry and gta with graphics overhaul mods and very un-optimized games minecraft with lots of shaders etc. I will be learning how to create mods and content along with later getting a pretty capture card to show YouTube and others what Im doing and to share the awesome moments created and expirienced. So video editing will be a thing preferebly in the 4k standard of my setup. Now that you understand what it's gonna be for here's a map of what I got planned

So would an i9 make this perfect or good how it is for gaming graphics as the top priority. 

 

Also power supply should I get a different one as I mentiond there will be a 60 inch TV a monitor a capture card along with minor overclooking to whatever my cpu cooler agrees with

 

Lapboard and ModMic will be a must too lol living room gaming and desktop gaming in one with video editing,  and sharing mods and recorded graphics in rgb. Sounds like a lot to have fun with to me

1000w is quite overkill, a good 750-850w PSU would be enough if you plan to SLI. which programs are you gonna use?

May I ask why for the case,  memory, and cpu cooler also the motherboard. I know there's some reasoning I don't want to trade performance for rgb if that's a thing

the case comes with 3 RGB fans so you don't have to spend more on them, that kit was cheaper and just as good as the Trident Z RGB, gaming 7 has much better VRMs and RGB.

So gaming 7 motherboard would be a good switch so I have better vrm speeds and also will be sticking with the nzxt look on the cpu cooler case and fans. ya I know it cost more lol but it looks nice with the nzxt cpu cooler led  header and I can change the fans to nzxt led fans on that too.  the will also be nzxt so all that lighting syncs together the lighting I'm worried about is on the motherboard ram and gpu working with it and the mouse and keyboard. It's a headache but the parts I chose have the performance I'm looking for just not sure if it works together I will take the time to set up the led through separate programs that's ok as long as it works together..

New final build just not sure if the  nzxt cpu cooler is the right size for the case/cpu there's 2 sizes of that nzxt cooler.. And the rgb nzxt fans to replace the black ones that come with the cooler. Once the right ones are selected and that list is completed I'm ready. And sooooo excited. Other than being unsure about the lighting compatibility and what size nzxt fans and cooler to get sorry if this is a headache it is for me. Example below just add rgb fans to the radiator and its practically what I got
