    Everything looks fine, be careful you have the 3770 in your basket, not the 3770K.
    I assume you want the K model for overclocking, in which case hardwareversand is actually 20euro cheaper than Kompletts for it. ;)

    Not that it will make a huge difference but might as well go for 1600Mhz RAM.

    If you want to do any gaming you will need a graphics card, although I hear Intel HD 4000 is quite a bit more powerful than its predecessor so that will probably do for light gaming.

    If using Adobe Premiere for the video editing, you should get an Nvidia graphics card (560Ti should do well) to use with the Mercury Playback Engine (with some tinkering of a program text file) :)

    Definitely go for an Nvidia graphics card if you're working with CS5+ or plan to in the future. It's a massive step up in performance. Since you're doing a lot of visual media production I would suggest you get a Dell IPS monitor as they have great colour reproduction and their 24" models run at a resolution of 1920 x 1200 meaning you will get more pixel real estate than a 1920 x 1080 monitor, which can make things quite a bit more efficient when working with different programs at the same time.

    I knew something wasn't right. Thanks. I won't be doing any gaming but if I decide to go for Premiere...

    I might get this later on, thanks

    You mean something like this: Dell UltraSharp U2412M (schwarz)

    It's given me something to think about. If I was just getting a monitor on it's own, maybe.
