Gaming PC, is it worth it?

Hi guys. I have a question and help from you. In general, I play only one game, Warface. In addition to her, I work as a raster and vector graphics designer. In general, I live in Baku (Azerbaijan), I want to assemble a very good system unit for myself. Its main task is to give out more than 250 FPS in the game and the ability to safely record the game without losing FPS, lags, etc. And of course, let's not play at max. settings, but at least on average.
Here is what I collected from us here in Baku. The price is 1400 AZN (in rubles 116515), which is certainly a little expensive, I would like to collect what I will write below, but only at a price of up to 1000 AZN (in rubles 83225). And so look. Can any of you advise what to change to something cheaper and more practical, something to remove altogether. In general, I look forward to good advice. Thank you in advance.
Configuration:
Processor
:
Intel I7-4790K
5243 RUB)
Hard drive: Toshiba 1Tb (58 AZN = 4827 RUB)
SSD: Kingston 120Gb (99 AZN = 8239 RUB)
Power supply: Thermaltake LT 800W (102 AZN = 8488 RUB)
Case: Thermaltake CA-1B5-00M1 (101 AZN = 8405 RUB)

You can assemble a case for me yourself, if it doesn't make it difficult. Transferred from AZN to RUBLE here - finance.rambler.ru/calculators/currency

1) Proc. Get some better i5. Games don't need top processors, marketing is everything. Look, in some gaming laptops, they generally install dual-core ones, and these laptops are not much behind in performance in games. I am sure that between yours and some i5-4670K you will hardly feel the difference.
I remember that I once took an i5-2500K to my computer, so in some places it even outperformed similar i7s in performance, which cost 20-30 percent more.
2) It seems to me that you can also find a cheaper mother, but here I don’t really understand, I can be
wrong
4) Everything seems to be fine here, but I advise you to postpone the money for an additional 8GB (or immediately take at least 12GB), although it depends on your needs. Maybe 8 is long enough.
5) Everything seems to be fine
6) I don’t know what kind of SSD you have there, but it’s a little expensive, and kingston, if my memory serves me, is mostly cheap models. Consider something like Samsung 840 pro, or intel ones, they are also good.
7) It seems to me that your system will consume ~ 500W, so you can take a slightly cheaper PSU
8) You can also take a cheaper case, at your discretion, of course.

For a gaming PC, only the video card matters, since it is responsible for processing all 3D graphics, therefore, in a gaming PC it should be 50% of its cost, another 30% is a good monitor on which you can see all the colors of this game. Everything else has almost no effect on the FPS, with the possible exception of the SSD, it's a must have. (The main thing is that the SSD does not have a SandForce controller )
In motherboards, except for the south bridge, there is practically nothing left - everything was moved to the processor, so you can take the cheapest Asus company and not warm your head - there will be no difference. Why Asus? They are the most reliable and have the longest possible support, nothing more is required from the motherboard.
The processor is enough and i3, well, if you really want it, you can also use i5, but you won’t get a significant increase. All these "K"
at the end, in my opinion, are just marketing, few people indulge in real overclocking of modern processors, although there are enthusiasts .
PSU and case for 16k?? This is an obvious search ...
Pay attention to the memory frequency, if it has 1600, and your processor supports only 1333, then there is clearly no point in paying more.

If you look in the direction of games, then you can change the processor to i5, cut the memory by 2 times and throw out the ssd (because you won’t put games on it anyway, hehe).
And if you look in the direction of editing 2d graphics, then you need to take a simpler video

I would take a percentage of these 4690, 4690K, 4670, 4670K. For the money saved, I would take better memory up to 16 GB. But when recording, the percent will be loaded, and, accordingly, the more powerful, the better, that is, the core i7 will cope well with this, and it follows from this that if you record, then you will also compress the video, and again the percent affects this.
Conclusions: if you have money, you will play, record, transcode video, then leave it as it is, just add memory up to 16GB (in this amount it will be a slight extra charge).

If I were you, I would take a simpler motherboard, remove the SSD and add 4 gigabytes of RAM on top. The video card is up to you, for computing (2d + 3d graphics), nVidia Titan is well suited today (Warface and recording video from the game will also pull no problem).
If you don't skimp, you can install two video cards, say, the same Titan (for computing and work) and any video card with the characteristics that suit you.
