Is this a solid PC Build for $600

I know it's nothing fancy but I don't need anything fancy. Light gaming and a little video editing is all I really need. Can this handle that? I spent like 2 weeks learning about parts and taking advice and I think this is what I will go with.

I wouldn't get the GTX 650 2g version, the card wont have enough power to make full use of the 2gs of vram. I would get the 650 ti 1g since it is roughly the same price as the 2g 650. Besides that it looks like a pretty decent build.

I'd agree with David about the video card, and i'd also suggest swapping out the network adapter at the price that asus one cost. I have 2 of these and they're awesome:

double the data rate, and guaranteed to work with Win 8.

Good build.

Ok. I swapped it out for the msi GeForce gtx 650 ti boost (1 gb). So here's the new build. Any other changes? I changed the wifi adapter to the reccomended one too.

Solid, probably one of the better budget builds i've seen lately, will make for some good gaming, great general usage, when you go to do any upgrades, do an ssd first and it will feel much snappier.
