Hello, I am interested in building a mid range PC for mostly productivity tasks and some gaming. I really need a computer that can support extreme multitasking, as well as rendering and video ediding. I usually have a ton of stuff open, sometimes it can even get excessive. Right now I have 233 chrome tabs open, as well as about 25 programs. I do a lot of things, mostly extreme web browsing, video editing/rendering, 3d modeling, audio editing, programming/compiling, typing papers, and managing servers. I use Sony Vegas to edit and render video.
I would like to keep this build around $800 USD, but I am flexible on the price. I want to get new perhiperals, but i'll probably find the best deal on them somewhere, such as Ebay or Craigslist, and wait for a good mechanical keybaord to go on sale, I also don't absolutely need new ones, so I'll probably just wait, so you don't have to worry about them. I already have an OS, and I definitly will overclock as much as I can.
i have put together a build based on personal expierence, online reviews, and reccomendations, and I was wondering if any of you would get anything different if you were building this to suit my needs.

I researched most of the parts, but I could do a little more on a motherbaord. I already have a hard drive lying around, so I won't need a new one right now. I figured I should get 16gb of ram, since I have 8 right now and it is usually full and relying on the SWAP. As far as the graphics card, the Sapphire 7870 GHz Edition seems like a godo deal, I will use it for rendering in Sony Vegas, as well as gaming. I don't game that much currently, due to the limitations of my current system. I really only play Minecraft, TF2, and sometimes games like Planetside 2, but I would like to get more into gaming once I get this system.
Thanks for your considerations and help, and hopefully this helpful community will continue to grow.
