Depending on your budget, i7s are supposed to be an asset when streaming gameplay, and they certainly should be when video editing.

You may consider faster RAM given the potential benefits and relatively modest cost increase, at least for the 2666MHz.

Define extreme gaming. :) If you mean 1920x1080 resolution with the settings maxed out or at least pushed very high, it should do the job, and capably. If you want to be more future proof, or if you game at 1440p, a 1070 would be something to consider.

Might you overclock in future? And do you play very CPU dependent games / what games do you play? :)

Thank you very much for your reply it is much appreciated, I actually instead went for the Define X1 which includes a 1080 ! :D costs £1,500 I read this review and it convinced me to buy it for my needs. - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2016/06/30/pc-specialist-define-x1-review/6, I have already ordered it and am now just patiently waiting!
