Is this good gaming/editing pc build?

No, it is not. The FX 6300 is going to bottleneck that graphics card, and that motherboard is not very good, neither is the power supply. This would be a better all around build. The 390 is just a 290 with more ram, and clocked higher.

Its a pretty OK build if you are on a budget. I would take the 16 gigs of ram and make it 8 and see if you could upgrade your CPU or GPU a little more. 8 gigs at 1600 frequency is fine for gaming and will never need more at this time.

The extra ram is useful for video editing, though.
