Hey folks.
I am looking to build a desktop pc for myself as an edit bay/programming/gaming power house. The primary taxing programs it would run would be photoshop, after effects, and premiere.
Does this look alright? [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/user/thepeople303/saved/2r8H[/url]
As far as laptop specifications. It does not have to be designed for gaming(no annoying SuperFastGreenLEDs), rather it has to be mobile (but greater than 13 inches) and able to be reliable with above average specs. That's why I was thinking of getting a mac book pro, but I want some money left over for future investments.
As always, thank you guys for your help.
The 4770 cannot be overclocked, you want the 4770k. You should also get 2 8 GB modules instead of 4 4 GB modules. It should be around the same price.
I would suggest upgrading to a 4gig GTX 770. The additional VRAM should help with editing and better gaming and shit, but also will let you run multiple monitors if you so desire in the future.

Sweetness... What about a laptop? What should I get? A mac? An ultra book?
The [URL="http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/"]lenovo ideapad y510p is absolutely amazing[/URL] and it's not too big, but it's not ultrabook thin to carry. The panel of it has amazing quality for a TN and viewing angles from anywhere, the specs are good for the price and the build of the laptop is really sturdy. If this is a choice really depends on how easily you'd want to carry it, if you've got a bag big enough to carry it, it'll be fine. I haven't seen any ultrabooks with higher res than 13" anyway. It currently costs 800 on a 200$ sale from lenovo.
You should be aware that there's a new model of the mouse you're buying, the G500s, which is better than that one. Oh, and the G500 series has a knack of breaking due to the wire being awful, so i'd personally recommend the optical G400s or the G700s. The G400s is much more accurate and doesn't have noticable acceleration, and it's cheaper. However, claw-grips are a bit loose if you've got very dry hands(like i do) due to the texture of the mouse. The G700s is more expensive, but it's all around better by allowing wireless, having a couple of buttons that don't make usage of the mouse harder and a very good wire. -EDIT- jesus christ the G500s costs twice as much as the G500 for some reason, at that point you might as well get a G700s

Isn't 750W on the PSU a bit overkill?

I've incorporated flayne's modifications into [URL="http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1LxSJ"]this list[/URL] and made a couple modifications of my own that i would recommend. The 7970 is a lot better at playing games than the 760, and it's better at computing than the 760(not counting CUDA). The CX600 PSU is good enough for a single GPU setup, and since multi-GPU solutions usually bring more bugs than performance and the G41 barely supports CFX, it's not exactly a loss.
Lenovo's site is actually pretty misleading on the link above, with the model having a full HD panel and a SSHD costing 960$. That breaks the budget with about 100$. If you can't scratch together a bit more money, i'm stumped as to which laptop to recommend.
