Will be doing some picture/video editing, microsoft word and spreadsheets, and surfing the web. I would like this PC to run cool, last a while, and be dependable.

This is what i have come together so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kgN2jX

I would like help on the PSU, the MOBO, and if there is a better solution for the cpu (and gpu if I should add one)
Also, could someone tell me if I need an after market CPU cooler?

Note: I will be doing some minor gaming(minecraft, Leage of Legends)

Here you go. If you want silence, you go for efficiency, which this has. Far better office performance, far better gaming performance, and quieter while it's at it.

For what you're wanting to do dump the ssd, completely a waste in an office/light gaming environment. Other than that looks good may or may not get ram to run @2133 but if not it'll be because of the processor not the ram. Can just tighten timing and run @1866 if not
