Need help building a PC

Hello guys,

I need a computer and would like to know what you guys would recommend. I'll be creating/editing videos, will also use photoshop/premiere pro cs6 along with other editing programs, downloading/uploading content on the net, multitasking. What build would you suggest (please include links if possible), budget is roughly $2500 to $3000.

By the way, I was curious about this tower: CORSAIR - Crystal Series 570X RGB ATX Mid-Tower Case, but I'm concerned about dust and cleaning it, is it really practical or is there something else out there that would be better?

Thanks in advance.

how about this?

Personally think 570X too expensive...
460X cheaper, plus you only clean 2 sides of glasses?

The 570x is pretty impractical. Look at a case with one glass side panel if you want to see the inside. The Fractal Design Meshify C is one of my favs.
