Hi,
I am thinking about building a new PC but then I wondered if it was even worth it. You can see my system specs on the right. I'm not getting the performance in games as I would like to. I do some gaming as well as photo/video editing. I was thinking about the build that I will post on the bottom. Is it good? Can you make some improvements on it?

This is about $300 more than I would like for it to be. Can you make it better and still have it cost about $1200? Thanks in advance!
