I've never really built a PC from scratch so some help would be appreciated.

I make YouTube videos so I'll mainly be using this for Video Editing with programs like Adobe PS/Sony Vegas Pro 13/Adobe Premier.

Not too big on the whole PC Gaming thing but willing to try out PC Gaming. I don't want to go all out just for the gaming portion of this build.

I don't plan to upgrade in the future.

The i7 - 4770k will be good enough for video editing, i wouldnt recommend socket 2011 unless you are running multi threaded programs all the time, and using for very heavy editing. otherwise everything else will be good, just gotta choose a different motherboard but stick with z87 unless you are an overclocking
