Sorry if posting in wrong place (Bit of a newbie)
Building a PC need help and advice.
So far the only thing I really have sorted is the OS (Windows 7 Ultimate)
I want a new pc for gaming but more importantly video editing (Adobe AE, Premiere and perhaps at a later date 3DS Max)

Once I see all the pieces I just get extremely daunted by the whole task and never really tackled something like this before and so I'm seeking help.
Was thinking something like an i7 processor with 16-32gb of ram, a solid state drive for OS and software, 3tb drive for video files (Maybe less + an external) my real issue is with motherboard and graphics card.

I am on a realistic budget of around £1000, can go to £1500 if it really makes noticeable difference.

What should I get and why?

Thanks a lot guys.
 
I have the monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers with my current pc. by opperating system being sorted I just mean I know what I'm getting, it's only £60 though so don't need to worry about it hitting budget too much.
Just need advice on case and literally everything in it from processor to thermal paste.
Thanks again guys, very helpful.
 
What are the major benefits to the first build over the second? Just trying to see what I get extra for my money, other than extra storage space, how is the motherboard better? Thanks a lot though, this is really helpfull.
 
Just trying to piece together what you're both saying
Hows this looking?
-Intel Core i7-3820 3.60GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail
-ASUS Sabertooth X79 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) Motherboard
-Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler (Socket LGA 2011/1366/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA775/AM2/AM3/FM1)
-NZXT Phantom 410 Case
-Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive
-Samsung 256GB 830 SSD SATA 6GBPS 2.5 inch
-TeamGroup Elite 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Managed to shop around and find all this for around £850
Have I done something wrong? am I spending money on stuff I don't really need, should I be spending more on certain items, I really don't mind spending the extra if it's worth it
And I still need advice on power supply and graphics card. (I am interested in 3D maybe down the line.)
You have all ben a great help so far.
 
Okay, so a few more questions (Thanks for bearing with me)
What would be the main benefits of the Sabertooth x79 be over the Gigabyte Z77X-D3H and other cheaper motherboards if I was going to go with the i7-3770 instead of i7-3820?
I see what you're saying about getting 4 x4gb of ram instead of 2x8gb, I only intended to do it that way as I'd more than likely add another 16 (2x8gb) in the future and that way wouldn't have to replace the whole lot. Would it be easier/ better to just go full on the 32gb to begin with?
 
Okay so before I order if you guys could give this a look over, suggest swapping parts maybe or changes of any kind.

-Intel Core i7-3820 3.60GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail
-ASUS Sabertooth X79 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) Motherboard
-Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler (Socket LGA 2011/1366/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA775/AM2/AM3/FM1)
-NZXT Phantom 410 Case
-Samsung 256GB 830 SSD SATA 6GBPS 2.5 inch
- 2 x Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
-MSI GeForce GTX 670 OC Twin Frozr Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (N670GTX PE 2GD5/OC)
and as the issue with two 1tb vs one 2tb drives, the cheapest 1tb drive i can find is £55 where as I can find a 2tb for just over £60, so would I get the same benefits getting two 2tb drives?
And what power supply would you recommend for all this?

(And I'm not missing anything am I?)
