I would like to build a PC that will run things pretty well.
Country: Australia
This link will take you to a list of the specifications:

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/dJzcVn

I already have a copy of Windows 7 Professional, I already own the hard drive and I may not buy the optical drive or wireless adapter since I already have a USB Wireless Adapter and a USB DVD Burner/Reader.
I do understand I will need to purchase a 3.5 to 2.5mm hard drive adapter to put more than one 2.5” drive in the completed build. I don't need an SSD at all. This build will be for Gaming, Video Editing and Photoshop. I might even wait for Windows 10 to launch and buy a copy of that if I like it.

How will it perform doing these tasks?

I may not have enough money to get the graphics card straight away as I'm only 13. How well would the onboard motherboard graphics perform for browsing the internet and school work? I don't exactly need it for gaming straight away as I do have an Xbox 360 console.

I have built plenty of PC's for my family and friends so I will be building it and installing all of the drivers myself rather than paying my local PC repair $99 to do so.

Could I possibly overclock anything in the build such as the CPU with the stock cooler?

In the future I might upgrade it to 16 gigabytes of RAM.

Thanks :D

How well would this SSD perform? I'd only be installing Windows 7 and all of the basic stuff onto it. I'd be using the 500GB for games and everything else. It would be running on the first SATA 6 Gb/s port with the Mechanical Drive on the 2nd SATA 6 Gb/s port.

Yeah, the 120GB version is $10 more here too. I found the 60GB one for $54 though.

120GB: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27060&cPath=909&utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=export_feed#googlebase

Is Kingston a reliable brand when it comes to SSD's?

Yeah, it seems like a nice SSD but it's over my current budget.
What would you go with? The 120GB Kingston one I previously listed or this 128GB Sandisk one?

The 3.5 to 2.5mm spacer is included with the Sandisk one so that'd be a plus.

Alright, thank you for the help. I might stick with the 60GB Kingston V300 SSDNow Solid State Drive as it's cheaper and I'll never use more than 60GB of storage for the operating system anyway. Anything else can go on the Mechanical Drive.

Thanks again, you were very informative.
