Terrible. A 350W PSU isn't going to support a GTX 750Ti and an i7. You'll want to get a 430/500W PSU for this build, at least. Also, it's over-kill. Why would you get an i7 processor with a GTX 750Ti? An Intel i5 4570 is much cheaper and would still do what you're wanting it to. Also, I wouldn't go with a GTX 750Ti, a GTX 660 is better and only costs a little bit extra. Or better yet, go with an AMD R9 270, it's better still and only a little dearer than a GTX 660.

No bother, what is your budget? Also, what games are you looking to play? You may not even need an i5 processor or a GPU with that much power.

The minimum system power requirement for GeForce GTX 750Ti is 300W, so you should go up a bit.

And i5 for gaming and i7 for editing, I have i5 on this computer and it does the job but with a i7 you will process videos faster in editing programs.

My budget is roughly $900. Im looking to play CallOfDuty and trying to get it to run at 60 fps on high resolution. also would those parts that you recommended work well with video editing with Adobe After effects?

Hmm, well an i7 is better for editing but an i5 isn't too bad for editing. If you have the money, just go with a i7 but I would really recommend either a GTX 660 or an R9 270 instead of the GTX 750Ti. You will want at least a 430W PSU as well.

Don't get an R9 270. Those cards are waaay overpriced right now because people use them to mine crypto-currency. You should go with a GTX 760 for that price.
