[Build Ready] Looking to build a video editing PC.

Hey guys,

Would anyone mind critiquing my PC build? I am a video editor and CAD user. I also play a few games. Budget isn't too big of an issue, as long as its future proof.

I also have many usb devices (8+) that need to constantly be hooked up to the computer.

One of my concerns is that the processor might run too hot. Does anyone have experience with the i7 vs the i5s? I will most likely buy an aftermarket heatsink.

Note: I already have the videocard and powersupply listed. I also already have a SSD and optical drives.

Thanks reddit.
