I'm looking for a $1500 build, which will be used for gaming and video editing/livestreaming. (Which justifies the i7).

I need the whole pc along with a monitor and OS.

I have never built a computer before and am not sure if I selected good parts. I have no interest in over clocking my cpu, small chance I may overclock gpu a few years down the road.

I may also SLI/Crossfire in the future.

Here is my current build idea:

How many w should i get? Also is everything else ok besides the motherboard? I want to make sure I'm not getting too expensive of an SSD for example when a cheaper one would do the same thing.
