Hi guys!
I'm fairly new to this and I'd really appreciate your advice.
I'm wanting to make videos with YouTube Commentary whilst playing kickass PC games on the highest quality.
E.g: GTA V, Gmod etc)

I've already made a PC Part Picker if anyone wants to see the link:
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/kQtrQ7

Everything is compatible with each other so don't worry about that, all though I do have some questions.
1.) Is this all decent quality stuff and fairly compatible with the newer games? (I don't necessarily need the newest stuff but I want good quality, you know?)
2.) Will this be easy-ish to build up? I know PCs are not easy to build but will this be pretty simple?
3.) Is there any other options for a component that is cheaper (and/or better quality)? I don't really want to go any more expensive than this budget ($2000).

Thanks in advance! I'm really looking forward to this and I can't wait to hear your opinions.

my advice is drop the i5 and cpu cooler and get an i7 with a cheap air cooler, i7 runs cold at stock speed of 4GHZ while the i5 is 3.5GHZ. plus the i7 is about twice as fast when it comes to vid editing, which you want. will end up being around the same price.

the power supply is not good quality and you should change that. the graphic card is weak for what you want to do.

external hard drive is too expensive.

ill see what I can build and see what you and others might think.

you can change the case to what you like, the internal storage is now 2 TB. but mainly this build has an i7 for the vid editing and a 970 graphics for the gaming. power supply is good quality and can handle the system. everything else doesnt matter much. go for 16 gb ram if you can afford it or go cheaper on the other parts, focus on performance.
