My budget was at £1150 and this is what I have came up with.

Thanks

You want 16gb RAM, also I believe editing programs can use CUDA acceleration so Nvidia, and an i7 is great for editing - you probably won't be able to fit that in though.

- Drop the motherboard down to a bog standard Z97 board
- Change up the gfx card to a GTX 770/GTX 780
- Ditch the water cooler for a cheaper air cooler
- Drop the case a bit to save a bit of money (if you want)
- Whack 16gb RAM in


EDIT: Wait, you specced an air cooler and a water cooler :) Ditch the water cooler

No CUDA acceleration which I believe is good forediting (not 100% on that.)
