Hello, first time building a desktop!
Before anything, here is what I am going to be doing with this setup:
1. oclHashcat (WPA and a few others)
2. Some gaming (GTA5 and similar)
3. 4k video editing/picture editing
4. Average uses (YouTube, 4k video watching, etc)
Other notes:
1. I have an absolute MAX budget of $3,000
-Also need to buy a monitor and case
2. I may wait for Pascal chips to arrive and purchase them instead if there are significant improvements
3. Primary OS's will be Debian 8 and Windows 10
4. I may buy some not critical components used from eBay/Amazon or similar

Questions:
1. Are there any alternative/better/cheaper parts you'd recommend?
2. Can you recommend me a good case+cooling fans?

Thanks!
