I am new into the whole computer world, and would like to build a pc for video editing (gopro footage etc.) and possibly some light gaming (like counter strike) I went to frys and for my budget I was recommended the amd fd6300 for a processor.

Here is my list so far and would like suggestions on what else I need as far as motherboards, video cards, and others go that would be compatible with my processor :

Ram
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10)

Hard drive
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard

Processor
AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 6-Core Processor Black Edition

Windows 8.1 64 bit

*I am also open to any suggestions to change my existing list!
**I am not interested in overclocking it, just using it for gaming and editing
**I would like to keep this build sub- $650 range, with the parts listed I am around $400-$500 via amazons prices
(I know what monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and case I want already)

Remember I'm brand new so I'm just looking for some help! Thanks!!
