seeing as your mobo has no onboard graphics, i would consider a graphics card in the meantime.....

and its not really clear....is this the stuff you have? or is this what you're going to buy?

and if this is what you're going to buy its not really an upgrade...its really a new system

also use the correct format

Everything seems good, Ram could be changed:

PSU: cant really decide which one you need since I dont know how much power consumption a ATI 5000 or the Gt 300 will be.

this psu seems an exellent deal http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006

next gen cards will prob use less or similar amount of power as current gen cards

 

[Helloworld_98]

^ well the GTX 300 is rumoured to use a heck of a lot of power (something like nearly the same as what the 5870 X2 will when it comes out)

@OP, don't get an SSD on that budget, put the money towards a nice graphics card since you'll be gaming on it, go for a 4890 ideally.

 

[obsidian86]

it will be on a smaller manufacture process there by using less power but should be more advanced but i think it should balance out

 

[Helloworld_98]

^ it also uses a bigger die iirc and that adds quite a bit of power usage.

helloworld_98: i`ll wait with gpu for directx11, maybe i should get something lie this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371009? BTW. SSD would be nice for video edit...

 

[Helloworld_98]

^ the SSD would be nice but your budget isn't high enough for it, unless you get one of the new Crucial M225's.
