Hello everyone!
I don't know much about computer parts so it would be very helpful if you gave me some advice on the following question.
So I recently decided I want to build my first computer even though I am very new to this topic. I want a good computer that can handle HD-Video Editing (Sony Vegas or Pinnacle Studio -not too intense-, not AE) and play maybe some games (only stuff like Minecraft or Gmod). Here is the build I came up with:

That is really all the money I have at the moment and I cannot purchase anything more expensive than 850$.
I am really not sure enough if the GPU and CPU will be good enough for video-editing and I wanted to know if I could get anything better than this build with the money or maybe save money somewhere. I am open to suggestions and hope to find some good advice. Thank you!
