So This is my first personal build. I mainly want to use this pc for 1.Gaming 2.Some video editing/uploading 3.Architectural design (Work)
So here it is:
Graphics card- gtx 970- ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 Graphics Cards STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5-$350
Processor- Intel Core i7 Processor i7-920 2.66GHz 8 MB LGA1366 CPU BX8060192- $300
Motherboard- Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard-$220
Ram- Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-Pin UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00-$50

2. Any compatibility issues

5. is there a website that i can buy all this at one time or is it better to just buy them individually from various websites

1) won't physically work, CPU is socket 1366, mobo is socket 1150
2) No SSD in a 1K build
3) Shit PSU
4) No need to spend so much on a Z97 board, Will you be overclocking or not?

not planning on overclocking anytime soon should i switch out for a cheaper mobo that has a socket 1366? Also i'm not quite familiar with the PSU's should i get the same wattage and just a better brand or...?
