Advise a new build

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8y6KnQ

Currently this is the build that I'm working on. The name is still being worked on at the moment. Since this is my first build on my own I have a shitload of questions about how to optimize it so I would love to see different opinions rather than people up voting a single person.

First and foremost, I've been wondering if to put off such a high end rig setup for a while since AMD and Nvidia are rolling out new lines of GPUs and on top of that DDR4 is rolling out slowly to consumers alongside new motherboard archetypes. My last rig got built right when Sandy Bridge was becoming a thing and it suffered a lot since I decided to get it before the curve and it fell off fast in gaming preformance. Don't want to get burned again. Opinions on both, if to put the build on hold for a while to wait advances in either category.

On to the build:

Current overclocking plans are non-existent, may change in the future, so take that into account. Build idea is currently simplistic, trying to get a White-Black-Gold color scheme. I do some Photoshop and I've had to do some video editing, nothing really too serious that my current rig couldn't handle so this is more focused on gaming and occasional editing.

1) CPU/Motherboard/Heat sink I ran this by the cooling sub-forum beforehand but I would love for a confirm that the CPU, heat sink and Motherboard are compatible 100% and wont fail me since the FX-9590 is a serious powerhouse when it comes to heat.  

2) Drives: Is the SSD I've chosen good/bad? Opinions and alternative options appreciated. For information, I'm taking my 500 GB HDD from my old build.

3) Video Card: a) Should I wait till the 900-series drop to decide on my new GPU? b) Choice between EVGA or MSI GTX 770s? Any previous experience? If you want to suggest alternative GPUs, choose from Nvidia GPU line since I'm really dissatisfied with my current AMD one and not looking forward to buy another one

4) Case/Fans: How good are the stock fans and do I need to change em out? Any suggestions on fans that you have had good experience?

5) PSU: Literally rocket science for me. I had my last build done with a 600W PSU which has 0 support for today, let alone specs and efficiency. So I am deciding to swap it out for something that is reliable. The current one I looked up at random which seemed good for the build, would love some feedback and alternatives.

6) Memory: Is it a good idea to get 16 GB of memory if I do some occasional editing or does that become meaningless after you have 8 GB.

 

Feel free to edit the original build and post it back with the changes with why you did them. 

AMD - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tudor/saved/cRV2FT

Intel - http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tudor/saved/YWcgXL  

Both dual 770 ready.

The Phanteks coolers are black and white, in case you are not fond of Noctua's brown.

1) I still don't see the point of the 9590, even if you specifically want to go AMD. The cheaper 8350 or 8370E would be fine, as you can get them to around 4.5 GHz (according to other's experiences) with the NH-D15 (or the U14S), if you will need the extra speed.

 If you want to go with AMD, i would advise against the 9590.

with intel cpu - By going with a less expensive SSD and cooler, you could get a 4790k, which will be quicker in anything than any FX cpu. The motherboard has good reviews and can properly overclock the cpu. 

2) I changed the 840 pro with an MX100 from crucial, which should do just fine and it is cheaper.

3) a) If you want to wait, you can use the iGPU for a while, just to have video signal, not for any serious gaming. If you will decide to buy now, the 770 is fine. Between MSI and EVGA...in this case it's a matter of prefference i guess. Stretching the budget a little would get you a 780 from ASUS, although it has red accents. 

4) The stock fans should do fine.

5) Single GPU configuration (depending on model), go with 550-650 watt bronze or gold (depending on budget). Dual GPU at least 760-860 watt, prefferably at least gold (depending on the actual GPU's). The PSU you chose is good, but the 760w version of it isn't more expensive, so it's a better buy.

6) If 16 GB fit within your budget, go with that. If you want to save a few bucks, go with 8 GB and ad some more along the road, if you need to.

The intel configuration is a bit more expensive, but should be all round quicker.

Intel build all the way .

Don't get the 770 , g 2et either a 290 or a 280x ( 290 being BEST )

You will NEVER need more than a 290 for 1080p .

Cheaper intel with R9 290 : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/B3ZG23

Better cooler

Mass storage 

I know he wan't Nvidia , but brand loyalty is dumb , especially when Nvidia offers no compelling performance/price gpu's this series .

If you want Nvidia , go all out on a 780 , the 770 is a 3 year old 680 with a new name .

Agree, but OP said he wants to go with Nvidia.

Some things I need to point out:

FX-9590 is a massively overclocked FX-8320.  Do not expect to overclock this CPU.

Samsung's 840 Pro is one of the best drives out there, only paralleled by the new 850 Pro.  Excellent performance and endurance, but they're pricy.

There will always be the waiting game.  I think that nvidia's next line of GPUs shouldn't be too far in the distance, but it's probably not going to be tomorrow or anything like that.

What current AMD GPU do you have?  I've had a HD 7850 and an HD 7950 that have both performed well for me, especially at the prices I paid for them.

Stock fans on the H440 should work just fine.

Fancy power supply, but a high quality one and very efficient one.  There are plenty of other brands to consider, such as XFX and some Corsair's and EVGA's power supplies that are high quality as well(and likely cheaper)

16GB of memory is nice, but if you're only going to be doing video editing on occasion for a small project or for fun, it's probably not worth spending the extra money to get that kind of capacity

This should be a pretty good system.

Xeon E3-1231 V3.  No overclocking here, but you get the performance of an i7 at a much lower price.  If you want your computer to look nicer, grab a cooler so that you don't have to use the stock cooler.

Nice looking motherboard with a H97 chipset.

HyperX 3K 240GB- quite a quick and reliable drive, as well as 1TB of hard drive storage if you need it.

GTX 780.  GTX 780 > GTX 770.  No surprise here.

Cheaper power supply, but still incredibly high quality.  You've got over 100w of power between this system's theoretical full load and what the power supply can handle - that's plenty of spare wattage.
