Per the fact that you just said "I'm not that heavy of a gamer" you could pretty much save ~$100 or so and get a similar performing AMD build.

Don't get me wrong, the i5 3570K is great. On a smaller budget however, like yours, it'd be better to go AMD and a better GPU. Why?

Most games take advantage of a better GPU, not CPU: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/2055/5/

So my suggestion is going with an FX-6300 and a 7870, you save lots of money but you still get a pretty solid multi-threading CPU that can still edit videos and do all those things pretty well and better than the i3 3220 at a similar price. PLUS, you'll be able to overclock at a fairly low price.

Just drop the Hive 750 down to the Antec Neo Eco 520w and you'll save about $35 dropping you down to the $800 mark.

Everything looks good except I'd recommend stepping up to a 7850 graphics card for another $30

EDIT: Just saw the second build. I'd go with that one.

The second build is much better and looks solid.
