Can anyone give advice, based on these specs? I won't be overclocking, and the PC is being used for gaming, as well as recording/editing/rendering videos.

Personally I'd swap out that OCZ PSU as I've read horror stories about OCZ PSUs. Go for a quality brand PSU like Corsair, Silverpower, Seasonic, Enermax or something along those lines.

 

I'd also throw in a  CPU cooler in there like the Cooler Master Hyper212 evo for exmaple as it's not very pricy and offers great performance for its price.

also for the Ram, see if you can find a kit instead of buying 2 separate sticks, while it might not matter but the kits are made to work together. 

 

also makes me wonder if that ATX PSU will fit in a Micro ATX case, but i havent seen it.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646e31230v3, as you are not getting a z87 oc capable board anyways, you might want to step up to a more optimized cpu option for a non oc usecase.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600m, its just a higher quality psu, compared to the ocz.
