Hi there!

I've decided to join the so called PC master race, so I need your help/feedback. My budget is maxed out, after a month of research I threw together this (hopefully) final list, based on my needs. I decided to go with the Intel/Nvidia combo, and the Mini-ITX size simply due to the fact that I want to keep the PC off the ground/on my desk. I have animals around all the time.

The purpose of this machine will be following:

Oldschool/next-gen gaming, possibly GTA V when it's released,
Light to medium video editing/motion graphics mostly in 720p,
Heavy, daily video streaming.

The build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Trippy8bit/saved/dRCZxr

The CPU cooler which I really like does not show up on pcpartpickers' list, but it's a Thermaltake NIC F3

If this doesn't fit in the case, please suggest another with similar price range.

Why I post this whole thing?

I just want confirmation from people who have way more experience in the field than I do. If you say it's a solid build, then I hit the order button.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, or a professional video editor, I just like to try new things here and there, I want a future proof build, that'll last for 4-5 years, that's all. Anyways...

Many thanks in advance for your feedback!
 
some parts you are overpaying and PSU is not of high quality with adjustments you can get an i5 CPU i would possibly also wait for gtx 960 to be released before buying a video card or just buy everything and use onboard video card until they release the 960.
