A while ago I was contemplating ordering a gaming rig for £1000 but held off for a while and now I have £1500 to spend, I'm glad I did now seeing as haswell processors and nvidia 700 series cards are out. I have two options, overclocked or not overclocked, they both use similar if not identical parts and I wouldn't like to exceed £1500 but maybe £1550 if it allows a significant upgrade. This PC will be used for gaming on a single 1080p monitor at max settings preferably and video editing (will add more RAM if it doesn't exceed £1550). All feedback is much appreciated as I'd like to order soolner rather than later.

Sorry if it looks scruffy, copying and pasting, thanks in advance.
P.S Also is it worth getting a sabretooth motherboard, no idea what's different about it so would like to know.
