What are you using this for? If gaming, back the processor down to an i5 and step up to an R9 290.

But the Power supply needs 2 be stable at low and high points, for it to work well. So is my power supply good enough 4 it?

It is certified to do that. Besides, your config will never pull more than 400 watts.

Any tips on what I could change? (besides the r9 280x and Corsair cx 750)

Get a SSD.

Mantle is going to take awhile to be of significance. GPU horsepower is still king.

 yes but remember once this kicks in fully having a power cpu like a 4930k or a 3770k ( sorry i hate haswell) will benefit you greatly :L

But that is in 2 years time when it is probably time to upgrade, assuming Mantle actually tuns out what it is supposed to be.

What kind of editing are you doing? Are you editing professionally or just clipping together gameplay?

Where are you shopping? Budget? Why are the graphics card and psu not in the list? Do you already have them purchased?

The system will be stable but could be better. A haswell ready psu simply means that it can take advantage of the power saving features.
