First, get rid of the PSU. It is dangerous. I just responded to someone who lost their GPU and CPU when the power supply failed. A video editing system will place demands on the power supply.

Keeping your mobo and GPU I was able to come up with the build below. Set up the three HDD's in a Raid5 configuration, it will speed up the process considerably while giving a degree of safety if one fails.

Your mobo is not recommended for overclocking an 8350 so it should be left at stock. But I added an aftermarket CPU cooler to improve cooling as the CPU will be tasked by video editing.

The biggest weakness in this build is the GPU, video editing likes more than 2GB of VRAM...

The biggest weakness in this build is the GPU, video editing likes more than 2GB of VRAM. But to get to 6 or 8GB would have meant at least $200 and could not have been fit into a $600 build. I would do this build which gives you the CPU, RAM and storage and then you can save up for a new GPU.
