Hi, this is my second build, and I am building a pc for gaming/video editing and animation. It is a little overkill, just tell me where I can improve. Thanks!

It is common for kids to enter very expensive builds when they are not serious.

Your build could consume 1200 to 1400 watts. A Titanium power supply will save you about 67 watts power. Just think how hot a 65W light bulb gets, that's how much power you cold save and keep your computer cooler.

You should buy RAM in four pacs to ensure it is all matched.

Why are you getting four !TB SSDs? Maybe needed for your application? Never seen it done before.

Are you sure you want 4 980TI's? For non-gaming applications, sometimes professional boards are better.
