Motherboard - gigabyte ga-z87-ds3h mATX
GPU - MSI nvidia gtx 750 ti
PSU - Corsair CX 600M
HDD - 2*1TB WD 3.5INCH

Is there anything I could change to make it better or is it good. Thanks

For video editing you'll want a stronger CPU. If you're not overclocking, you don't need to spend extra for the unlocked CPU and Z87 board. Something like this will be better in both categories, and cheaper.

The GPU is low end for gaming. You have no need for an aftermarket CPU cooler, Z87 chipset motherboard, and "K" series CPU if you don't plan on doing any overclocking. 32GB of RAM is way more than needed. The CX line of Corsair PSUs is their budget line. You would be better off shuffling components to allow for a good gaming GPU to be added if you plan on running any decent games on the system. If you post in the format found in the *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* sticky we can help you build a system optimized for your intended use and budget.
