Hey Everyone! I am thinking about building my own PC that has the power to do Intense 4K video editing smoothly and intense gaming. I tried to stay under a $1,500 budget while picking out parts that have great performance for a great price. Here is what I chosen.

For more details.
Processor -Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
A Processor with 4 Cores running at 4.0 GHz caught my eye. Also, is this Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor be better for $15 more? Or will a AMD processor be better?
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
From the reviews and ratings, this was the best low cost CPU cooler.
Motherboard - MSI Z170A GAMING M5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
I love how it has a Type A/C Port for faster file transfers. Also the 4 3.1 USB ports.
Memory - Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
I hear 3200MHz is better than 2133MHz (On a gaming laptop I was thinking of getting) Plus, in the future I can buy more to upgrade to 32GB on which the MoBo can support up to 64GB.
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
2TB for footage and games. SSD for faster performance.
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GAMING X 8G Video Card
$33 less and faster Core Speed. 2560 CUDA Cores included. (I hear these CUDA Cores can help with Video Editing or something like that)
Power Supply - EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
System estimated to run at 395W, thinking of 500W for future Upgrades.
Case - NZXT S340 (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case
Best looking Case with a reasonable price with matching color scheme of Black & Red.
So will this all help me to have a Powerful PC that can do Intense 4K Video Editing and Gaming? For programs like Premiere Pro, After Effects, Blender, Cinema 4D, 3D Max, and other programs in the same category. And play games 60fps on Ultra in 1080p like GTA 5, Battlefield 1, etc. (I think you get the idea) While staying on a $1,500 Budget (well $1,600)
Any Suggestions will be helpful. And if you have a question, please ask.
Thank You. I will be looking forward to your help.
