Gaming/Editing PC build $2000-$2500

[Hot_Chetoes1457]

Hey guys, I have been wanting to get into pc gaming and video editing. The date of purchase for this build is sometime around summer. I need OS, peripherals, a 27 inch monitor for work, and a 24 inch for gaming. For the gaming monitor, I would like for it to be 1ms. I am not looking for a 1440p monitor, 1080p is fine. Here is my build so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
Also, please help me choose a good editing program for Youtube, 3D editing, and skits. Another thing, I prefer it to be Intel and Nvidia, but if you can convince me why AMD is better, I'll take it. One last thing, a SSD should be in the build because I feel its better than a hard drive for the OS boot-up. Thanks for helping me guys, I appreciate it alot.

Use 2 x 24in 1080p monitors like your chosen Asus. 27in will look grainy. Especially up close.

I use Power Director. Its cheap and easy to use and fully functional.

An i7 4770k is much better for editing - cpu tasks. http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/448/AMD_FX-Series_FX-8320_vs_Intel_Core_i7_i7-4770K.html

And 16GB ram too

So, can somebody explain how a 780 ti and a 780 differ?

So, can somebody explain how a 780 ti and a 780 differ?

Yes, the 780ti has all 15 SMX processors enabled. They are the heart of the graphics card and do most of the work. The 780 has only 12 of them enabled. So a 780ti could be as much as 25% faster (15/12) However, benches show the 780ti is about 10% faster for 1920X1080 displays, and as you get to bigger displays and more demanding graphics, the speed improvements reach 20%.

Since you want a very fast display, 1ms, you need all the processing power you can get, so go 780ti.
