Well if you are doing any gaming then go for the r7 260 forsure. The 8320 will still be great for all your editing needs. :)

One thing though and it's just minor, since these are prebuilts, you should probably add a good CPU cooler to your 8320 and get rid of the stock one. Something like the hyper t3 or hyper 212 would do.

The Hyper 212's don't do great with the 8320's or the 8350's. This is because of the heat these 2 produce. Yes they are slightly better than stock but not worth the upgrade because of the performance of them on these chips. If a cooler is desired toms here has done a few benchmarks on CPU coolers and all-in-one water solutions for you to choose a good one that will handle the heat better.

This is not to say that on a different CPU the Hyper 212's are bad, I am not saying this at all, I am saying that for these 2 high heat producing chips there is a better solution with more value out there.

Ahh, I was under the impression that the 212 would be fine for 8320, as I haven't seen anyone really saying anything otherwise; even in $1000+ builds.
Thank you for that info :)

So since they don't perform as well as others, do you have any alternatives? (mostly for OP reference)
I know I've seen some $40 noctua's recommended occasionally.

I'll take a look for those benchmarks as I see I need to refresh myself a bit. I suppose I took the CPU coolers for being similar to something like a mousepad and after $20 they are all more or less the same, just rebranded or over priced; which is why I thought the Hyper 212 was a "perfect" fit. My bad :no:
