How is my first custom build?

[supersebey]

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to get your opinions on this build. I'm planning on doing medium video-editing and light gaming. I will get a SSD later this year.

Also if someone could tell me if the cooler fits inside the case that'd be great! I'm really open for every opinion I get but please try to not go over 630$. Thank you very much!

Only 2 changes you should make go with WD HDD & Get 650W PSU.Other Components are excellent.

That's a nice budget build. The case, however, could've been better. For another $10, you could've gotten the NZXT Source 210, which is a much better case than the Xigmatek Recon. But for a first build, this is pretty good.

The XFX 550W is actually more than enough for his current build. The storage is also one of the best for the price.

i agree with you. but the one other thing i would do is buy the video card from xfx. if you register it with them, it has a kifetime warranty.
the WD drives are the best now. used to be seagate, but now they have been lax on the quality, and the western digital has risen to the top.nothing worse than losing your only hard drive.
