I need help wih this build!

[LucioSantella1]

This is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tYhcmG I will be gaming, recording, editing, and rendering videos. I probally won't be overclocking because I don't know how and I heard it lowers the life time of the computer. Is my build ok for why I am doing? If im paying too much for a part that is just expensive for the brand or series could you replace that part with a cheaper part. But make sure it is as good as the one your replacing. So could you edit the link and paste it somewhere in your answer and then tell me what and why you changed what you did.

Don't need extra thermal paste
Change to a much cheaper motherboard

Editing... Rendering videos... for professional use?
If this is a bread & butter machine, I recommend xeon processor & workstation class video card, subject to the optimised drivers for your software. Your system seems to be a glorified gaming machine, which is fine if that's what you want. I would also recommend filling all your ram slots with ECC ram just in case future ram is not compatible with your machine. That always gets my goat on my previous builds.
