Hello!

I am very new to computer parts and wanted to know if this would be a good build for light gaming and basic video editing (Sony Vegas). So is it enough? I also don't have too much money so if you could give advice within this money range that would be super. Don't plan on overclocking yet and I will probably get a SSD later on this year. Thanks in advance! :)
