By the middle of next month I will be building my own gaming pc. My budget is $800 for main components and $200 for peripherals. I'm having trouble picking out a psu and I'm concern if my graphics card and cpu will be able to handle light editing that i plan to do to gaming videos I plan to create. Any better builds are also welcomed. Thanks in advanced. Parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/32w4G

quality seasonic made xfx 650 watt power supply will allow upgrades in the future. i also changed your motherboard and ram.

you may want to consider skipping the 6300+hyper 212 for a $150 total and going with the 8320@$150 now then down the road when you have $30 to spare you can get the hyper 212 and install it.
