I'm new to PC building. I want to know what you'd change. If everything is compatible. Did I make good choices? This PC would basically be for gaming and video editing. And I'm trying not to exceed $2100. Thanks.

If you're going for video editing as you say, the 4770 will suit you well.

You also dont really need thermal paste, that cooler should come with some.

That's also quite a bit for RAM.

Also you could save about $100 on the video card by going with a R9 280X for the same performance.

Rest looks great!

I'd change the HDD and the SSD.
For the SSD I recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-dri...
For the HDD I recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-h...

I'd also change the CPU and motherboard.
For the CPU I recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/amd-cpu-fd8320frhkbox
It's an 8 core 4GHz Processor.
For the motherboard I recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99xevo...
It's just as good for cheaper. The only downside is that it's max RAM speed is 2133. So unless you plan to go over that, this motherboard would be a better option.

For video editing, it's hands down the 4770K, and with the 8320 you might get 8GB to run 133, but 1866 is more realistic.
