This a going to be used for mostly general things for now, but I do a lot of photo and video editing, and some gaming so I built it with that in mind.

i5 3570K processor
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard
Thermaltake Advanced Frío CPU Cooler
EVGA GTX GeForce 660 SC
32GB G.Skills Sniper Series DDR3-1866 RAM
90GB Corsair Force 3 SSD
2TB Seagate Barracuda HDD
LG Blu-Ray Reader
SeaSonic X750 Gold
Rosewill Thor V2 Case
The RAM, HDD, Blu-Ray Drive, and PSU were on sale for really good prices and I couldn't pass them up. I got the overkill PSU for expandability. Overall, I only paid $1020 for this because of sales.

Not bad but I bet you'll never use that much memory. I would have wanted a 120 or 128 GB SSD not 90. You should have gotten a 7870.

Besides that though it looks good. I think if I did as much video editing as you say I would have gotten an i7 but still good.

For the build I'd say 8/10.

I would give it about a 8/10. Get 2x8GB DDR3 1600MHz instead. Use the extra money to get a better gpu. If for video editing you will benefit from a 3770k.

I use around 16GB quite often, so I went with 32GB in case. I didn't really need a better GPU, I even went overkill on the one that I got. I would have loved getting a 3770K but I didn't have the money. Also I didn't need that big of A SSD, I'm using Linux which is like 750MB haha.
