Been working on this for a while... will be my first time building, and first time asking forums for help! For video editing (possibly with Sony Vegas) and casual gaming on steam. Plus a good all-round computer to run my life from for a good couple of years! Would welcome any pointers on where I could either a) get the same performance for cheaper or b) get better performance for the same price. Thanks!

+1; looks like a great build! Also, the power supply looks pretty good for the price.
 


That build looks good.
It should have no problems when you install everything perfectly :)!
