Mainly for editing and gaming with a budget of 1.1k GBP

Is it all compatible? Good for the price? Rate /10.

Overall very nice build. If you're rendering and editing ect you might want to go with 16GB as it will be better for an editing system.

9/10

16GB would be just fine. I see you have a aftermarket cooler on there, you planning to overclock?

If you're not you can get a non K series chip, along with a H87 board and no aftermarket CPU cooler and it'd save you quite a bit of money.

Yeah probably to 4.0Ghz CPU and possibly a GPU over clock not to sure just making sure I am future proofing. Like the 600w PSU just in case I want to cross fire and have enough wattage.

It's always good to have a bit more than you need when it comes to power. It gives you a bit of headroom for overclocking and as you said, upgrading.

When it comes to overclocking with the haswell CPUs they tend to get quite hot. Overclocking to 4GHz shouldn't be a problem whatsoever though. You could maybe push it to 4.3 or 4.4, but i'm no overclocking expert. Just push it until it gets stable. It might take a bit of time but it'll be worth it.

If you're looking to future proof your PC getting a haswell chip was a good decision. The GTX 670 will last you quite a while, but you'll need to upgrade it before the CPU most likely. As there is a 700 series of Nvidia cards.

Exactly within 2 years I would have to upgrade my CPU and probably would upgrade my GPU and then the stuff would be cheaper at the time. Andnyeah I ain't a overclocking expert as well haha:')

8gb is fine 16gb is kind of a waste in my opinion. Even tho theres 8 more gigs, the speed for rendering is almost the same time.But 4gbs 8gbs yea there's a big difference with rendering.
