Is this overkill?

[Lee360TheCoder]

Hello guys. I am trying my best to get a really good build. I use things like Photoshop, video editing software, some games (Ex. Minecraft, Terraria, Garry's Mod), and I like to not have to worry about my computer slowing down due to many programs in the background. My current parts add up to a $931. price tag; all from Newegg. The parts are listed below.

Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 ATX Mid Tower [$49]
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Haswell Quad-Care 4.0GHz LGA 1150 [$329]
Motherboard: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming LGA 1150 [$131]
RAM: 2x4GB DDR3 G SKILL Ripjaws 1600 [$79]
Power supply: 630W CrossFire Modular SLI Ready [$49]
OS: Windows 7 64-bit (of course) [$99]
And I have a aftermarket cooler [$49]
Video card: ASUS GTX750TI-OC2GD5 GeForce [$144]

Is this good? Will it work well? Opinions?

I think a 4790k is overkill to match with a 750ti but not really for what your doing.

That is not a overkill, look at my specs for an example for one

You should consider a higher quality power supply. Judging by the price because you did not mention the brand or model I'd say you should seriously consider digging a little deeper and invest in this critical component.

So do you think I could downgrade to a i5 and still carry out smooth muti-tasking?

Since you are doing video editing and photoshop you can actually take advantage of the i7.

Good point. Do you think I could be able to run Minecraft at max settings?

Yeah the i7 will be good for you just get a better gpu and make sure your psu is at least a 80+ bronze with enough 12v amps/watts that your gpu requires.
