I am currently trying to build my own gaming computer and I am very new to this. Is this a good setup and is everything compatible? I plan on editing videos with this computer also.

Motherboard ASRock Z77 Extreme3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard $109.99

 
How uch is total budget for this build?
Maybe I need just count :D LGA 1150 is new sso can we go with that or is it must have lga 1155? For lga 1155 xeon is much better cpu than 3570k faster, cooler. You can NOT OC that but it is fast enough without OC.
It do have HT + 8Treads.

This first build is based on xeon. If you are in tight budget theb you can lose cpu cooler. If you like more silent build hen keep it :)
