What do you think about this workstation build? It is meant to be used for video-editing, 3D modeling etc.

ASUS Z97-A (I can get either the Z97-pro gamer or the sabertooth Z97 mark 2 for the same price if i want to)
Core i7 I7-4790K 8 MB
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Noctua NF-P12 (cpu fan)
Samsung 850 PRO MZ-7KE256BW 256 GB SSD
Fractal Design Define R5
Crucial Ballistix Tactical 4 x 8 GB
2x Noctua NF-A14 FLX (case fans)
WD Red WD40EFRX 4 TB
eVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked w/ ACX Cooler (2 GB) (Another option is the new EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB PhysX CUDA - any thoughts on this gfx card?)
eVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 PSU

I know there are better graphic cards and perhaps motherboards out there, but I reached my budget limit (I'm buying this in Denmark, which is more expensive than in the US).

Any help/thoughts/comments is appreciated, thanks!
 


the gtx 960 is better then the 760 in any factor (maxwell low power consumption, 3 displayports, fps in games), so its a great card that will last into the future. you dont NEED a gtx 970
 
I am having a hard time choosing between a 750watt psu and a 850watt (evga g2)... som people say that 850watt is overkill. In the future I want to be able to run GTX 980 SLI.
Opinions?
