I was just curious if it was possible. What would be the best thing to do? I know if I want to do video editing I will need a lot of space. I just don't know how much.

This is all I currently have. That Ram may have been a bad choice, but I bought it off Amazon for $70 when it was on sale.

I don't have any core components, also a CM Hyper 212 will not fit in that case without removing the acrylic window.

I will be using this PC for streaming, gaming, video editing, Photoshop etc. I want this to be my starter PC though, and eventually just be a dedicated Streaming PC.

Core parts, I don't really know. I want a 4970k and GTX 970, I don't mind paying the 650$ for those parts

so thanks for all the help guys. My build is up and running. I run Witcher 3 at Ultra settings w/hairworks, at ultrawide at 60 FPS, I can't wait to get an ultrawide gsync monitor with a higher refresh rate. One problem though. My boot drive is a pcie m.2 ssd. and my mobo spontaneously stopped recognizing it. Is there anything I can do? Ive read some stuff about running recovery but Im not 100%, I really hope the ssd isnt dead and I just need to replug it in or run a recovery process. This thing is blistering fast to boot and I pretty much have zero loading times in the games ive stored on it (TW3, gta5, skyrim, fc4 etc...)

I would recommend anyone reading this thread to buy an ultrawide monitor. You can get a decent lg 29 inch (24 inch equivalent 16:9) for about 200 on sales nowadays. It is really a game changer with the increased FOV.

If you want every bit of space out of the hard drives, the best thing is to use one volume per drive. If you use spanned volumes in Windows, or RAID 0, then the failure of one hard drive means the loss of all data on every drive in that array or span.

If you want redundancy, RAID 5 would be good for three drives, but you'd lose a third of your space for parity info. It means one drive can fail and you'll still have all your data. Two drives failing = bye bye all data. Any RAID array I'd be comfortable with for data I cared about would involve the loss of storage capacity.
