Interested in 4k video playback and editing (no gaming). Any advice? This is what I've come up with. Good enough or overkill?

Faster and bigger storage, lesser graphics card, better components.
I've changed out the case since the Enthoo Pro is way too big to be conventional unless you have upwards of 5 hard drives.

Looks good. If you aren't gaming, you may want to consider a lesser card or even a Quadro (except the affordable ones are pretty old now) so you can get a bigger SSD as that'd benefit you more in video editing, plus the EVGA NEX are quite low quality and you'd be better off getting a G2 or a Seasonic 500w.

I reckon you need to up the storage space available. 240GB SSD and a 1TB HDD are not enough when it comes to 4K videos.
