Suggestions on second build since 2013, very basic.

[35760]

I decided it was time to replace my 2013 gaming PC, but I'm not into the RTX craze and don't want anything fancy. I'll wait till the 1070ti is a bit cheaper and make my purchase in the upcoming months. I've attached an image of the parts I chose, I'd just like to know if this kind of gaming build checks out, since I'm very much behind on that topic. Oh and I already have a Seasonic Platinum 1000 Watt PSU, so I don't think I need anything better right now.

 

Current specs, if anyone is interested:
 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
MOBO: Gigabyte Z87-HD3

RAM: G.Skill DDR3 2x8GB+2x4GB

VGA: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (Founders Edition)

PSU: Seasonic Platinum 1000 Watt

...and a bunch of HDDs and SSDs

 

I know it's probably as basic as it gets, but as I said, not looking for anything fancy, just wanted to make sure that this checks out. If not, I would be glad to hear better alternatives. Price is less relevant, but I would prefer to not go over the price of this list.

You might want to consider waiting maybe 6-7 days and buying a cheap card off the dumbasses who bought RTX.

there's nothing wrong with your build at all, though i do recommend getting a SATA SSD instead of the NVME one because there's barely any difference in day to day usage, difference only shows when dealing with very large files like editing 4K videos and such.. but it's up to you  

 

other than that it's perfect.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Regarding RTX, I'm guessing even if I buy it off of someone, the price is still going to be steeper than 1070ti and as I said, I'm not interested in the ray tracing mumbo-jumbo.

 

I do video editing, not in 4k, but I would prefer it be as fast as possible, since with my current system, Vegas struggles even in 480p with certain heavy loaded scenes, so any speed up is welcome.

Vega struggles?

 

What CPU do you have? How much RAM?

GPU doesn't really affect rendering speed that much in most cases.

No no, not Vega, Vegas, as in Sony Vegas, the video editing software
I have my current specs listed in the op, I'll list them again if you are interested:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
MOBO: Gigabyte Z87-HD3

RAM: G.Skill DDR3 2x8GB+2x4GB

VGA: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (Founders Edition)

PSU: Seasonic Platinum 1000 Watt

When I edit and have more than a couple of layers and effects, Vegas already starts to struggle, especially on the preview screen. If I want to preview a scene I did properly, I have to render that small bit that lags and view it as a media file, that's the only way I can see if the scene is well timed. That's how bad it gets sometimes, unfortunately...

@LienusLateTips @syn2112 Thanks guys, both of you! I just finished setting up my rig and I wanted to share what it looks like, if you're interested in what you helped me build.

I went over the budget a bit, as you can see, since once you get RGB RAM and GPU you gotta commit to go full RGB at this point, especially with the RGB craze recently :)
 

I really tried working on the cable management, I think it came out pretty good. You should've seen my previous rig's cable spaghetti... Anyway, if you have any suggestions or criticisms, please let me know! Thanks!
