This will be my first PC build. I have a general idea of what I want, but I would like to know if I have all of the right parts. I'm trying to have a video editing/gaming pc. I don't know if I need another SSD to go with the one I have, or do I already have enough? I will add a DVD/CD writer and Windows 8 but for now, is this good for the job?

Awesome pc for gaming and will edit basic stuff perfectly. Few things though, that psu is pretty bad, change it out for an Evga or seasonic, or higher end corsair, also I would strongly suggest a 240gb ssd as 120 isn't enough for much other then OS and a few apps. Also, and this is purely a personal thing, that case is a little bit...not the best. I've worked in it before and it feels as cheap as it costs but that might not matter to you. If cost is an issue dropping to an i5 6600k would save you enough to upgrade the psu, ssd, and case but depending on the editing you're doing you may want to stick with the i7.

I would get

better PSU tier 1 or 2 - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
faster SSD soemthing like bx100, arc100, 850EVO. Here you can compare SSDs - http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/
the case you picked is only worth it when it cost 20$, you can get better case for less like Thermaltake Versa H22

And the last thing Skylake i7 is not worth it, for just a bit more you can get i7 5820k LGA2011-3
