Hi,
Is it for gaming? Are you planning to game in more than 1 monitor? Unless you are an extreme overclocker the motherboard would be overkill, the additional Vram in the graphics card you have selected will only be beneficial at higher resolutions. The PSU you have chosen for your spec is fine.

Hi,

Yes mate for gaming mainly however i do leave multiple applications running at the same time, but nothing really to do with video editing etc. But who knows.... maybe I might get the urge to edit something

Overclocking is not really needed for gaming and 8gb memory is plenty for your intended use, the cpu you have selected will be more beneficial for cpu intensive applications rather than gaming. If you think you are going to do heavy video editing then the cpu is fine, I'd suggest choosing the P9X79 motherboard and the GTX 680 2gb or GTX 670 2gb if you are gaming in 1 monitor. Homeplugs would provide a more reliable connection than a wireless card.
