Hi everyone! I am building my first PC that i'll be using for video editing and some gaming. This is what I've got so far, I'm just not sure if I have everything I need or not. Do I need anything else or cables etc? If someone could please help me and give me some advice or suggestions that would be greatly appreciated :) 

I will be getting the operating system, mouse and keyboard later.

I'm also not sure if I need a mid tower or full tower. I'm only looking to spend between $100-$150 for the tower.

P.S. I live in Canada.

Change the PSU. Antec, XFX, Seasonic is what you want.

A mid tower is plenty of space for this. NO need for a full tower at all.

No you do not need any extra cables.

Drop the thermal paste. the 212 EVO comes with a tube of it.

I would get an i7 4790k and the ASUS Z97-A, but an 8350 overclocked will not be too far off from the i7 in video editing.

I would recommend the i7 4790k for this build. I built my video editing rig around this chip and it flies. I did find however it ran rather hot, around 92c on stock cooler but got myself a Kraken x41 and even with oc to 4.5ghz temps never go above 70c and that's stressing with prime95.
