Best PC system under 1K

[dsub1994]

hey guys, I'm looking into a 1 grand build... here are the specs:
PSU: 650 watt thermaltake extreme
case: Antec VSK (i think it's VSK) - 2000
CPU: AMD A10 APU (I think it's a 5800K or something like that)
GPU: sapphire 3GB 7950 OC (only 300 bucks!)
CPU cooler: Noctua Air cooling.
LG optical drive (DVD)
ASRock FM2 motherboard (can't get the exact number for it, the site's blocked at my school ) but I think it's a fm2a75 pro4.
description: 4 DDR3 slots, and supports dual crossfire, and 7.1 ch sound so it's semi-future-proof, and it's only 85 bucks, so yeah.
8 GB kingston hyperx 1866 DDR3 ram: 50 bucks
120GB Kingston hyperx SSD
2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
so guys, is this a good build? it's mainly for gaming and the occasional video editing, maybe twice a month or so, so a 10 second difference in rendering won't kill me
thanks guys!

There is no logic in getting an APU with a dedicated video card.
An APU is designed for more budget oriented systems, for it contains a CPU and GPU on the same die.
