is this a good 4000 build?

[BossBruce1]

i am thinking about getting a $4000 high end gaming and light editing pc but i am not sure if this build is well balanced in terms of power and if it is efficient. Thank you.

here is the link to my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/fsCFtJ

If you are light editing There is no point in getting the 5960X. Get the 6700k instead if u aren't going to edit that much.

Are you trolling? That build with that monitor?
Also, the i7-5960X is not a gaming CPU. As 6700K or an overclocked 5820k game better.

Yeah in the gaming the 6700k actually benches higher in most games, its a cheaper and better solution for high end gaming.

I would go with the 6700k too it's just way cheaper and better intel is trying to take your money with the 5960x the i7 6700k is way better when it comes too price to performance stuff

Don't you realize that 2 1080's is another $1000 so its actually $5000

OP, use this as the base of your build, accent on that monitor:
