[Build Help] Video editing/light gaming for a friend.
A buddy of mine asked me to help out picking some parts. He has his mind set on intel processor, would like to use dual monitors, and does a lot of picture/video editing as he's a photographer on the side.
He also would like to spend around $1,100 CAD. I'm not really too good on budgeting my builds so I'm wondering if you guys could look this over and let me know. I left out OS and peripherals on purpose as I believe he has some lying around. Also parts must be available in Canada, preferably in a store just to make it easier on him, but I included online in my build.
Here's what I have so far. He's not planning on overclocking, but I'd like to give him the option if he'd like in the future, the z97 makes it pretty easy. I'm quite a bit over atm after tax, so I'd like to bring it down a bit if someone could help me out. I was thinking maybe a cheaper mobo? Worse case we take out the overclocking potential and I remove the cpu cooler and add a couple fans.
Edit: I'd also like to get him a modular psu. I can prob go cheaper and get a 550W?

swapped for a Xeon and added an SSD. The Xeon would be better for rendering.
Sweet, this looks dope, thanks for the input!
