Yeah Very good but u might wanna swap the GTX 760 for a 280X which is better and will cost you 20 more bucks. For Video Editing the 16Gb and Core i7 are needed which is a good choice but you could go for the K version to get the most out of your motherboard anyways solid build.

You might also want to look at a bigger SSD.

With 16GB ram it probably won't be an issue and the 120GB is a nice size for the OS and some additional files, if rendering 4k video or some other very large files - being able to use the SSD for additional cache/swap (or faster saves of large completed files) wouldn't be a bad thing.

Alternatively - wait till they are a little cheaper and no issue to have one SSD for OS/swap and a second for the source/completed files as you are working on them.
