First PC Build

[UltimateGio]

So I'm think about building this PC, its my first one, never have build one before. I don't know to much about PC, I only know the basic things.

I was thinking about this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2UodI

I'm mainly going to be using this computer for rendering and editing videos. I might play a few games like Arma 2, maybe COD. There's a few things I'm not fully convinced in getting, those are the motherboard, the case, and the fans.

Any suggestions on what I should improve in this build?

Thanks for the help!

I'd recommend the z87-gd65 motherboard if you plan to overclock

Otherwise, I think if you are using this computer to mostly video edit, you will want a better graphics card. At least a 770 for that amount.

Remove the thermal compound, you get some with your motherboard, and consider dropping some of your case fans if this goes over your budget. If that still doesn't cut it, use an i5-4670k instead of the i7-4770k
