Can someone please tell me how good my build is and if there's something I could change but it has to stay in this price range-http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FvLn99
All I am looking to do on the computer is play light games like skyrim an do light video editing

I upgrade to a 1866MHz for $2. And change to a 500GB Seagate Barracuda (which is the amount you will need for gaming, a 250GB is not enough).

A biostar board with an 8350... That board will die quick the vrms on biostar boards can't handle that high of a CPU power draw for long I'd consider getting any other brand

PS: For light video editing nobody will tell you that a Haswell i5 is a poor choice :)
