I went with 7 on my new computer as well. I'll probably do the 10 upgrade if it's free and desktop friendly.
basharran, Thanks for the heads-up, but the 970 is currently the best card I can afford. Unless you suggest going with AMD? I currently use an AMD Radeon 7970m in my laptop and I actually love it. It plays most games on 'Ultra' settings, as well as staying cool, even under maximum load. But yeah, the 970 is the best one I can really afford!
Is this build a bit better for gaming, video making and video encoding?

I don't see any issues with it, can you estimate what the memory requirements are from the video making/encoding and if it's wise to get 16 Gb instead of 8? The 970 is a very good card and if you stay below the 3.5 Gb threshold you should have an absolute beast of a card. AMD has nothing better to offer at this time (with similar stats and energy consumption).
