Again, it's for editing. The 32 Gigs of RAM is because I'm going to have to record and edit streams of video games which was a bitch in the past.

Feel free to suggest some fans and a fan controller -- I think I'm going to use the Corsair 750D Case instead of the Fractal
If I was you, I would probably avoid Seagate and go for WD.
Although that's considering that 3 Seagate HDD's have failed on me when they were only 3-4 years old.

Don't know why this has a disagree, Seagate 3TBs are notoriously bad. But I would recommend HGST NAS drives over WD, though. Those things are rock solid.

Looks good for editing(And gaming). But why not Win 10?
As far as I know, the opinion on Seagate drives got a bad hit around 3-5 years back when a firmware error made alot of their drives inaccessible after a certain amount of hours.
This was fixed by sending the drive to Seagate under warranty and having its firmware updated, without data loss.
Besides that I have not heard of any more problems with Seagates over WD
Western digital seem to more reliable than seagate and others.
I have WD 250GB something like 10 years already and it still works.

Seagate was slightly cheaper but I really could not fill that much space, especially with a 500 GB SSD I'm probably just going to get that and a 2 TB WD Black
With Windows 10 I'm actually going to be using it because I got sent a Windows 7 Pro Key so I'm going to be installing that and then immediately upgrading to Win 10
Case is nice, but if you're looking to try another I suggest the Cooler Master Storm Trooper or Storm Stryker. I have the Stryker, it's fantastic.
