Hey I'm a college student that needs a PC that'll be able to edit videos/photos as well as game on the side (League of Legends, GTA V, Skyrim, FIFA, ect.)

I've been thinking about building my own PC for the longest time however I think I landed a good deal on a website, please let me know what you think and if it'll be good enough to last me a while...

HERE ARE THE SPECS:

HP Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac 1x1 with Bluetooth M.2 NIC (Stone Peak 1)
No Additional Security Software
12GB DDR4-2133 DIMM (1x8GB+1x4GB) RAM
500W Power supply
6th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K processor quad-core [4.0GHz, 8MB Shared Cache]
2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 [DL DVI-I, HDMI, DP, DP, DP]
2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6G Hard Drive
HP ENVY 750se Desktop PC
7-in-1 Media Card Reader, 4 USB Ports (Top), Audio [Top 2USB2.0, 2USB3.0]
HP USB volume control Keyboard and USB Optical Mouse
Windows 7 Professional 64
Integrated Sound, Bang & Olufsen Audio
SuperMulti DVD Burner

TOTAL COST AFTER SHIPPING AND EVERYTHING IS:

$931.37

Please give me your thoughts and opinions as time is a limited factor.
 
the the 4gb 960 option available?
12gb will slow you down over 16gb as the system wont be in dual channel mode with an 8 and a 4.
Would be better to get a 2nd hdd so that you can render from one drive and save to the other. This way one drive isnt being forced to read and write at the same time.
 
Ok I switched the 1x8gb 1x4gb for 2x8gb... Now costs $907+tax.

Is this not a good deal? I plan on eventually adding an SSD and upgrading the GPU to a GTX 970.
