What are you editing and how much editing will you be doing?

Depending on how much editing you are doing you could save a bit of money and just go for the 2500K if you are going to be doing a lot of editing and need it to be done as quick as possible as in for work then stick with the 2600K.

You may also want to get 8gb RAM if you are going to be doing heavy editing if not just stick with 4.

You could also save money by getting a Samsung F3 1TB instead of the WD. SATA3 mechanical HDDs are a gimmick they are not capable of speeds greater than 3gbps.

If you go with the 2500K a Samsung F3 1TB and 4gb RAM you could use the saved money to get a better GPU or case.

EDIT: I'd spen a bit extra and get the PRO version of the P8P67 I have the standard version and I wish I had gotten the PRO. Or if you can afford it the Asus P67a Sabretooth.

All that SieB said, the difference for gaming with the 2600K and the 2500K are insignificant so save yourself the money, nevertheless if you are doing a lot of editing then stick with the 2600K, also the case you choose has poor cable routing possibilities, so the money you save from the 2600K buy a improved case.

All of the above and a budget and current total would be helpful so we could perhaps recommend you a better case.

You'll never regret spending more money on a good case if you can spare it.

Nice build all you need now is a ssd, you will see a big difference in performance if you use one for your os/games.
