Hello,
First of all, sorry for my bad english. Hope you can still understand it.

For the past few days I'm searching for hardware to built a new pc as my laptop is getting old and doesn't support all the games I want to play. (Will keep it for school tho).
I came across some nice videocards, processors and such whom fit my budget.

This is a link to my components on a dutch website (I'll probably buy my hardware from there, the sites linked there)

These are (as far as I know) the same components on an english website.

I'm not sure if these components work together as this is my first building-pc since I only bought laptops before. I know a little bit about the specification of videocards and processors, but nothing about how everything fits together in a pc. Secondly I want to know which case you guys advice , so everything will fit. This setup is not completed yet, so if you guys have any suggestions for better hardware etc. feel free to reply.

My preferences for my pc:
Price range: €500* - €800 *as low as possible, but I think this will be needed for at least decent performance.
Usage**: Video editing, Photoshop, modeling (C4D) and gaming. (May also use it for school)
Video Editing in After Effects and Sony Vegas

** Quick question: this setup, listed above, is good enough for these tasks?

- If you need more information feel free to ask.

Thanks in advance!

CPU + MB - You have an H97 motherboard (non-overclocking) paired with an unlocked K series CPU (overclocking). Look toward the H97 motherboard paired with either the i5-4460, i5-4590 or Xeon E3 1231 V3. Those are your best options for a non-overclocking setup...
MEM - 16GB is a lot. Consider 8GB for now with the option to add more later.

Ah alright. May stick with the i5-4460 and 8gb, you think this enough for the tasks I want to use them for?
