I'm getting a new PC in a few months, which I will use for gaming/editing/recording. I already have everything else, such as an OS, optical drive, storage, peripherals etc. but I was wondering if there's anything that I could change to make this build better. Any suggestions?

looks solid! maybe for this one circumstance, you should get a single 8GB RAM dimm so you can add another one for Dual Channel at 16 GB (less stress than quad channel, no?). just something to consider, for the bigger edits. What kind of editing? high def video? and 3d animation?
