Noob - Am I on the right track?

[Terrifyer]

I'm new to building PC's, and am coming from the dark side (Mac). I need a PC that will handle HD video editing, and occasional encoding, as well as gaming on high-ultra settings. I've picked out some parts that I feel would work for me, but if someone could look over it and offer some pointers that would be awesome! Too many fans? Not enough memory? etc.

Thanks!

Your PSU is far too large. Chane it for a 550-650w unit.

Get a 970 chipset motherboard.

With all the saved money, change the GPU to an R9 280x. This will give you high/ ultra settings.

Whats your budget?

Awesome, thanks! I wasn't sure if it was wise to just budget for more power than I needed or not.

My budget is somewhere around $1,000. All those pieces are about $1,000 total (I'm Canadian. Garbage dollar).

But really, a new Mac that suits my needs it around $2500, so I can wiggle a bit around $1,000 if the right part comes along.
