Full build for a friend to use for video editing.

I put a basket together 5 months ago, and noticed that some of the components are actually more expensive now then then! Strange.

Anyway, budget is £750, and i failed.
I couldn't even fit in a CPU cooler.

Here is the updated basket:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £263.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £77.99
1 x Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter (CT256MX100SSD1) £74.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £61.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £56.99
2 x TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TPKD38G1600HC11DC01) £55.99 (£111.98)
1 x NZXT Hale Power 90+ 550W '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply £43.99
1 x CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle - USB Keyboard & Mouse £29.99
1 x BitFenix Neos ATX Tower Black/Red £29.99
1 x LG GH24NSB0 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £13.99
Total : £780.89 (includes shipping : £12.50).




A few notes:
- I want an Asus or Gigabyte motherboard so he has the option to turn this into a hackintosh in future
- I COULD scrimp on the SSD and HDD to fit the budget, but it would be nice not to have to
- Is windows 8.1 the one to go for over 7?
- He already has a GPU (7970)
- He will be using Powerdirector 11 to edit - which supports openCL


Does anyone have any ideas on components i can substitute in to save a bit of money?
- maybe the non-K CPU :/

Even a bundle doesn't help you.

Separate CPU+Board+RAM and going fopr the non K option I think is your only chance of getting the price down.

Considering he has a GPU do they have a parts from a previous build/computer/laptop, that they could re use?

his current PC is very old any the only thing(s) that might be reusable is a HDD and DVD drive, although his might be IDE, not SATA. haven't checked.
Besides, he said he still wants a new HDD anyway.

The GPU he already has he's bought for this build - it's not coming from an old PC unfortunately.

I wanted everything to be in his name for warranty purposes - i've had to go through someone else when returning a component before, and it's HASSLE.
 
thought the warranty would be in his name as he's the one who would have paid for the items. your account just enabled free shipping.
